IC659 = US Mint Sheets - be inspired by a sheet of stamps. I chose this sheet of reindeer stamps, and went with the blue background. The stamps made me think of the Penny Black leaping reindeer stamp and die.
The blue starry background is done with a stencil, double-sided tape, and two colours of glitter (blue and gold). See for the technique. It is much more glittery in real life - I had a really hard time getting a good photo.
The reindeer was stamped in copper ink and then die cut with the matching die. His back legs are glued down to the card and his body is popped up with foam tape to give the idea that he is leaping up into the starry sky.
