I used a Circle Cutter to cut the CS for both the ornament and the inside image of the reindeer. DP was also cut with the cutter and adhered to the large circle, with the embossed half being added to the bottom. Trim was added across the join and a punched top was added ,with an eyelet and gold cord, so it could either be stood up as a card or hung as an ornament.
I embossed the reindeer with black Embossing Powder and sponged around the edges with Tim Holtz Distressing Ink and popped it up on dimensionals.
The circle are from the Fleur Heart set, coloured it with chalks and then used a small circle punch and made large faux brads with it. I added Kaiser Half Bling and popped the faux brads up on dimensionals as well.
I love the vintage feel that has happened here and will definitely make some more of these. The reindeer is perfect for making a quick project as the filagree look of it is enough on it's own without having to do much more - you have to love that!
