Make it Monday #97

I've been a bad blogger, and an even worse crafter, but this week, I turned that around.  I've made 26 cards in the last couple of days - mostly for thank you  notes for birthday and Christmas gifts.  My son even sat down and wrote his twelve notes with minimal attitude.  It's a wonder what the promise of candy will do for the attitude.

After seeing a box of cards in the clearance section yesterday using this same color combination and polka dots, I knew I could recreate a card that was similar. I'm lucky enough to be able to include this card in this week's Make It Monday challenge.  You can find details here:

I made these cards for my son to send to friends and relatives:

Polka Dot Basics, Tremendous Treats Christmas (PTI)

I wanted to keep it simple because I had so many to  make, so I began by stamping the cute reindeer in the corner.  After stamping the polka dot background, I added a strip of the glitter ribbon I found last year at Archivers.  I colored in the hooves, tail, star and nose and gave a little sparkle to the antlers and eyes with my Sakura pen.  Before I went to bed, I dotted each nose with some Glossy Accents to give a little dimension to Rudolph.  

Thanks for looking!
