Santa's Reindeer

Hello everyone, sharing today a little card I made using Santa's Reindeer from Hobby Art. So a little bit of normal stamping instead of digis. Even did some masking to build the scene. All coloured with copics but can't find my bit of paper where I wrote the colours down!!!

I used an Indigo Blu stamp for the snowy border at the top stamped with distress ink and added my favourite die cut icicles from Joy Craft together with some of their snowflakes.
I used a free paper from a magazine.
