My sweet sistah from anudder mudder Robin, spoiled me rotten and sent me this wonderful Sizzix die. I couldn't wait to use it!!!
It is a little known fact that Santa and his elves have a reindeer racing track at the North Pole. Here we have Poppy and her prize reindeer in the warm-up yard.
The background was made by spraying black Dylusions ink spray onto alfoil and then squirting on some ironing spray. This is going to sound weird, but the spray starch isn't as 'wet' as water and does not spread as far as water.
I just plopped an A4 sheet of cardstock onto the puddle and rubbed my hand over the back of the card. To work out what part of the cardstock to use, I placed acetate stamped images of the tree and fairy on the cardstock and also sat the reindeer on it.
I didn't want the tree to be a feature so I stamped it off twice before stamping on the card, I used a white gel pen in a few places.
This would not have been possible without my MISTI. I must have stamped Poppy about 10 times!! After stamping Poppy I pierced a hole above her top hand and two holes on her lower hand and threaded the twine into place.
Thank you for looking, I hope you have a happy weekend.

Oh mdf...I've spent so little time in the gallery this week, so little in fact I only had 4 items in my favorites. I pulled your gallery up knowing you would've created something and I wasn't disappointed, this took my breathe away!!!! I initially thought Poppy was wrangling the reindeer before reading your description, I love your imagination!

What creativity. Just Wow. The background is perfect for this scene. I didn't know you could use so many different item to make a background. Will do some research and give it a try.
