Chris is our hostess in the Color Challenge this week, and I am still making Christmas cards. This was an easy challenge for me, though, because her color palette works perfectly with my new kit from Hero Arts. The colors are Cinnamon Cider, Petal Pink and Night of Navy. The dessert option is "dots." I also used tiny bits of three neutrals, Mossy Meadow, Merry Merlot and Early Espresso.
This kit (which is already sold out--sorry!) contains dies that can make a snowman, a santa, an elf and a reindeer. This week's colors work perfectly for the reindeer, so here he is.
Oh, the title of my card? Yeah, this is attempt #2. I'm not showing you #1, but suffice it to say that I put the antler piece on top of the face, and my poor reindeer #1 looked like he was wearing a Halloween costume with reindeer antlers on his head. It would have been funny if it hadn't taken me so long to create that disaster! Oh, well, the second one went faster! Something that rarely happens to me--I could not come up with any way to salvage the first card, so into the recycling it went. :-(
I hope you'll join us in the gallery this week. I'm looking forward to seeing lots of dots!

Barbara your sweet reindeer is adorable and worth all the trouble you went too to recreate another one! A reindeer was an ingenious idea for using this week's colors! Super duper cute! Love it!
