I really love the sketch for this challenge, it's nicely balanced yet interesting. I think this sketch works well with the stylized reindeer and minimalistic sentiment for a clean, spare look. And once again... here's my favorite holiday DP, Fruitcake by Basic Grey!

Love that stylized reindeer - I agree with you, that it looks best with a minimalist sentiment - and a minimalist look - other wise that lovely reindeer would be overwhelmed! The brads are just perfect, and love the figgy pudding!
Gorgeous!!! Can I go on your Christmas card list??

You chose all the right elements for this card. Love the fruitcake dps with the old olive and chocolate. The deer is adorable and the ribbon treatment is really cute. Great card.
