Reindeer and a Tree Peek a Boo!

Hello everyone! It's Mindy from Mindy Eggen Design and I'm back guest designing today for Gerda Steiner Designs using the Reindeer and a Tree stamp set. I also have a video for this card that you can view down below or on my youtube channel. 

I started out by creating my background for the peek a boo window using Faded Denim, Wilted Violet and Seedless Preserve Distress Oxides on Bristol Smooth cardstock. Then spritzed with water from my distress sprayer and soaked up with a paper towel. 

I cut out my peek a boo window using the Die Square Peek a Boo using Neenah white cardstock and my Big Shot machine. I also colored my image on Neenah White cardstock and colored in with my copic markers. Take a close look at one of my trees - its so shimmery!!! I used a glitter cardstock for that one - all supplies will be listed on my blog.

The sentiment is also from this stamp set that I stamped below the window before doing anything else with my card ( very important step lol)

Then I put a little bit of adhesive in the corners to stick my trees and reindeer to. I added some foam tape to the entire back of my card to add some dimension and added the panel to a white cardstsock base. I finished it off with another reindeer grazing in front of the trees.

Reindeer and a Tree

Guest Designer - Reindeer & Tree set

Happy Monday!!! It's Mindy from Mindy Eggen Design and I am thrilled to be back guest designing with Gerda Steiner Designs this month! Here is a look at the set of my colored images. How stinkin cute are these?!  I was having so much fun that I was able to create TWO cards with this set AND bonus for you - I have a video for them! You can view it down below on my blog or over on my Youtube Channel HERE. Supplies will be listed at the bottom of the post.

I started my whole process by coloring the entire stamp set. I used Neenah White cardstock and Simon Says Stamp black ink. I used my Scan n Cut to cut out the images. 

For the background for my first card, I used Peacock Feathers and Blueprint Sketch Distress Inks. I also inked up a piece of cardstock with Cracked Pistachio, Twisted Citron and Lucky Clover and die cut the trees from it. 

I added a snow hill under the trees, trimmed my distressed piece down to 3 3/4" x 5" and added that to an A2 size cardbase. I lined up where my reindeer would go and stamped my sentiment. Before I actually added the reindeer, I added a little bit of  C1 for shading right underneath them like they are casting a shadow. 

My second card is pretty similair to the first. I ink blended Wilted Violet, Worn Lipstick and Blueprint Sketch for my sky. I used a Stitched Hillside die to create the hills and adding a sentiment before adhering everything together. I also added shading under my images for this card as well.
