Here's my card for today's Inspiration challenge - a web site called House 8810 - I was inspired by this vintage plastic reindeer ornament
Both of the dies I used on this card are Tim Holtz Alterations. I bought the reindeer die last year and never used him and I immediately thought of him when I saw the ornament.
I wanted to put a wreath around his neck and tried to think if I had a wreath stamp that size I could use - then I thought of using the smallest pinked circle Nestability and punching out the center. It worked perfectly! I cut a slit in the wreath so I could wrap it around the neck and taped it on the back. I adhered the deer to the card with foam tape and added the red gems to the wreath and the black tiny twinkle for his eye.
Clean and simple. Thanks for the fun inspiration site today Steph!!

Your reindeer looks like he's really leaping through the night time sky! So pretty in white and perfect wreath around his neck; good thinking on your part, Julia~
