Reindeer Peace

SC195Reindeer Peace_SaK

Here's my card for today's Sketch Challenge on splitcoast and also for the Rubbernecker Blog challenge to use Grungeboard or Chipboard.  The striped & brocade dp's are Deja' Views Attic collection.  The red mat under the striped layer is the reverse side of the DP.  I used Chocolate for my card base and other mats and kraft for the main image panel and layer under the panels.  The reindeer was stamped in Versafine Vintage Sepia and sprayed with pearlized distress mists in Tea Dye/Bronze perfect pearls & Fired Brick/Gold perfect pearls.  A copic marker E37, was used to highlight parts of the image. The edges were sponged with fired brick distress ink.  The grunge was painted with Frayed Burlap crackle paint and sponged with Fired Brick & Walnut Stain Distress inks.  I finished it with Dew Drops & ribbon.  The tag turn is by 7gypsies.  The Reindeer image is Stamp Oasis and the Peace is from a Rubbernecker sentiment.
