This beautiful reindeer was a gift from a sweet friend. He'd been waiting
patiently in my NBUS box to make his debut.
The gals at Jingle Belles gave me a perfect excuse to get him out
as they are asking for Rudolph and Friends.
He looks like he might be checking the weather while he's
practicing his prancing!
The trees and stenciled snow were already on this piece.
It was a happy find!
I placed the background in my MISTI and inked Rudolph several times
adding more color to some spots.
The stenciled snow acted as a resist.
I wish the picture showed the sparkle of the snow coming down.
I'm also going to enter this at Craft Stamper Magazine's
Take It Make It Challenge
where it's anything goes with stamping.
(I'm pleased as punch to say that this card
won over there last month.)
Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.
Enjoy!

Absolutely GORGEOUS card Bonnie! I really like Winter the way you've stamped and stenciled it...much better than the actual reality!! Lovely, lovely card my friend and I hope it earns another well deserved honor for you!! :0)
What a fabulous scene and so very pretty Bonnie...Love the dark farming too x. Your win over at The Craft Stamper was hugely deserved x.
I love the sweet deer looks great with the snowy background and sparkly tree Bonnie, and great contrast with the black embossed card. Congratulations for making top spot over at the Craft Stamper and I will look forward to seeing your double page spread in the magazine and your winners profile and DT slot on the blog too. How great, and that card was a beauty, really eyecatching. x
What a lovely scene you created and the stag looks so regal!
Wow Bonnie, this card is gorgeous! I love the scene you have created and of course I adore your watercoloring. This buck does indeed look like he is checking the weather while practicing his prancing. lol So cute! I can see the snow coming down, but I'm sure this whole card is even more beautiful in person. Hugs, Brenda
This is beautiful Bonnie, I love the deer. Thank you for playing along with the Craft Stamper challenge xx
Love this card Bonnie! What a great find in your UFO box to get the ball rolling. Your prancing reindeer is fabulous! Congrats on your win at Craft Stampers last month!! xx
Such a soft and Beautiful scene with Wonderful watercoloring. Your work is always so lovely....
Wonderful scene from your gift, your use of multiple layers of ink really sets him apart from the other bucks in the neighborhood!
Ohhhh that beautiful flower -- no wonder it won!
The shades of the reindeer are wonderful, Bonnie! He's beautifully stamped/colored. You created a gorgeous snowy scene. I love the texture of the sky.
Congratulations on your win at Craft Stamper. That floral card is one of my favorites!

Beautiful winter scene, Bonnie! There is a softness to it that reminds me of how quiet it can be out in the woods after it has snowed.
Great blog. All posts have something to learn. Your work is very good and i appreciate you and hopping for some more informative posts.
