Little Nicholas & Rodney Reindeer

 Happy late Friday night to all our HH fans!

Phew what a week!  So many things to do & not a lot of crafty me time.  I actually was able to finish up this card earlier today but ran out of time to get it up earlier.  Meet Little Nicholas with Rodney Reindeer & the Fun Merry Christmas sentiment all from High Hopes of course lol.

Last night over on the High Hopes Facebook page I posted my WIP of the images.  I wasn't 100% sure what I was going to do with them at that point but after fussy cutting the images out the light bulb went off.

I chose Photo Play's Christmas Cheer pad for these images.  I am in love with all the colors in this pad, great for masculine cards....can't wait to make more cards with these fab papers.  I picked out 3 different papers before I started to color just to give me some guidance while choosing my Copic colors.

 

I matched the brown cardstock base to the brown in the plaid paper & went with a Vanilla for the matting.  I picked up the cream with gold twine on clearance at a Winners store a couple of years ago in their after Christmas sale.  I knew one day I would use it.  I cut out the Fun Merry Christmas sentiment with a die & added some self adhesive dots.  I also used some Nuvo Snowflake Glitter on the pom pom & the fur on Nicholas's hat...just a bit of bling.
