Love this cute reindeer doll stamp.

 

Dear blog visitors,

I created this tag for the challenge at Lost Coast designs/Carmens Veranda stamps.

The challenge runs until the end of the month. 

So if you have made something with a Christmas theme and used stamps in it, 

come and join in. 

You are allowed to participate even without LCD/CV stamps.

Please read the rules regarding this.

Now, here is how the tag was made.

What I used for the tag.

CV Reindeer doll.

LCD Music border.

LCD Party words.

Distress Oxide:

Ground espresso

Uncharted mariner

Bundled sage

Speckled egg

Abandoned coral

Viva decor Ice effect

Ranger Stickles Cranberry

Stencil with stars

How its made.

I started with the

Made stains with water and Distress Oxide 

Uncharted mariner

Bundled sage

Speckled egg.

Build that up starting with the lightest color.

Keep going until you like the result.

Stamp the reindeer doll with Ground espresso.

Now we take the music border and cut off one piece.

Lost Coast Designs borders are generally quite long.

I really like that; you can often cut off a piece to use as a separate stamp.

Stamp the music border here and there with Ground espresso.

With the ice effect from Viva Decor and the stencil, 

you create stars in the open spaces.

Put the tag away and let it dry thoroughly.

In the meantime, we color the reindeer with the Distress Oxide.

I do this with water, as if it were watercolor paint.

I put a little bit of red Stickles on the hearts of the bows.

Cut her out; you don't need to cut the antlers as well.

They are so thin that it would never turn out nicely.

That is why we stamped the reindeer onto the tag first.

Glue the reindeer onto the tag and mat the tag with brown.

Insert a brown ribbon and you are done.

Here you can read another tutorial with this stamp.

I hope you enjoyed it, and if you want to join the challenge, click here below.

And repeat with walnut stain.

With Distress oxide bundled sage you stamp the script.

With the Distress Oxide Bundled Sage and Victorian Velvet, 

you stamp a number of perfume bottles.

Wait until the ink is completely dry.

Color the bottles with antique linen.

Use a finger sponge to color the edges with walnut stain.

For the background tag that we use as a mat, sponge with the Bundled Sage.

Stamp the long swirl with Victorian Velvet and sponge the edges with Walnut Stain.
