Here we are to a brand new challange over Simon Says Stamp!
This week’s theme over Simon Says Stamp Monday Challange is create something for the winter holidays!
Christmas/Winter Holidays
I made this Christmas Card for my boss using my favorite Reindeer Dies!

I love this reindeer head, it is simply my favorite. you might have noticed it since I am using it a lot lately. I have this huge stash of dies that I once did for a workshop that now are just hanging there and so I grab them everytime I need one! It is not paper but it is a material similar to plexiglass. I colored the deer backwards so that the front was slightly opaque. I used distress paint.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”3261″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_circle_2″ onclick=”zoom”][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]The base of the card is simply Simon Says Stamp Cardstock, I cut it to a large size since this is a card i made for my boss, we bought him a gift for Christmas so they asked me to make the Card and we are a lot of people in the office so I had to make sure the card was able to fit everyone’s signature! I ripped a couple of Simon Says Stamp Vintage paper (sadly this is a discontinued item, I wish it was back in stock!!) and I glued them to the background with Gel Medium. Then I added a wash of gesso. When dry I applied modeling paste throught a stencil and used distress paint to color the background. I added a lot of water to my distress paint to make them watercolor looklike.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”3263″ img_size=”large” alignment=”center” style=”vc_box_circle_2″ onclick=”zoom”][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]I let it dry then I stitched around the card and glued it to another piece of cardstock. Glued down the reindeer and the sentiment.
I love this color palette and I hope my boss will like this card!

This is such a gorgeous holiday card, Zoey. The colors and the stitching are so fabulous. 🙂
This card is so pretty Zoey! I love the looks of the reindeer and wondered about the surface you used for it. It is really cool.
Beautiful card, Zoey and I love the softness that the watercoloring has given this piece, it’s just gorgeous! <3
Your gorgeous watery color-blending skills are matched by none! What a talent you have and it’s a treat to see what you create from week to week. I love the unexpected color palette you used here, too!
As an extremely CAS card maker, you leave me in absolute awe of your talent with mixed media, Zoey! This is a stunning work of art. I know I’m gushing, but seriously, your creations are worthy of a gallery showing!! Happy Holiday hugs, Darnell
