Winter Whittle Reindeer
by Kim Singdahlsen
I have having so much fun with the Whittle Forest Reindeer kit. These guys in their cute little hats make me smile the entire time that I am working. For this card I put them in a field of snow-covered trees, also from the kit, with falling snowflakes from Adelaide Snowflakes and a big Proper Merry Christmas.
You can see in the above picture that there are other reindeer in the kit - you can see the side views plus if you look closely because it's almost covered, there's a fawn! They are sweet too and I will definitely be using them - but the hats go with these particular reindeer and it's the hats that are currently tickling my funny bone!
These deer were part of the fall release so my first card put them on a hillside with evergreens. (See details here.) I'm already planning to do a more classic Christmas with a red-nosed reindeer. I would have done it on today's card but I really liked the look of all of the soft blues (and no red!)
I used all soft blues and tans. I did add some sparkle with just a border of glitter paper and three little gems. The dies did all the work on this card - their sweet faces, the hats(!), the great font on the sentiment and those lacy snowflakes - it doesn't need anything else.
I am obviously having fun with these guys and am already envisioning a red-nosed reindeer. I hope I have given you some ideas for your own reindeer cards!

Hi Kim, I have read your write-up on your card, which sounds amazing, although none of the pictures are showing which is a shame, hopefully it will just be a gremlin in the works.
