Here's the first one for today -
Messed about with my Nesties - I used dark brown cardstock for the octagonal scallop and I quite like it.
I wasn't sure about using this reindeer laden paper - at first glance I thought it might be too overpowering and maybe I should just use it as a strip to contrast but in for a penny etc etc! The reindeer image was stamped straight onto the co-ordinating Basic Grey paper. I used Timber Brown stazon, but the colour turned out a bit wishy-washy so I went over it with a Cocoa coloured promarker! Used another promarker (Cardinal Red) to give poor old reindeer a small red nose!
I coloured the card candy with a 'Pear Green' promarker and added a piece of brown ribbon.
Think this would be quite a good man's card - even with the ribbon!
Lots of Xmas Challenges today - Cards for Men, Crafty Sentiments, Crafty Creations, Fresh Brewed Designs all have Christmas themes, Little Red Wagon's challenge is to use Basic Grey paper, and Oo La La's challenge is 'Rudolph'.

Ooh, this is NICE! It has a sort of Arts and Crafts look to it and I love the reindeer paper... it works really well.
I love the backing paper - especially the upside down reindeer.
A great image and beautifully coloured. Hadn't thought of recolouring the card candy.
Thanks for joining us at Ooh La La.
