Reindeer Trio

Recently Lili of the Valley launched 6 new sets of Christmas Trio rubber stamps.  As I was looking for a stamp to use for my October Design Collective card, being lazy and standing on tiptoes rather than taking the box down, the Reindeer set fell out so I decided to use them.  I coloured them up in non traditional Christmas colours, a combination falling rather into the Halloween category than Christmas.  Halloween doesn't really happen here but I do think the purple and orange combo is a great one.

I gathered inspiration from a few different places for this card.  Firstly from Kathy at the Daily Marker who recently coloured a background in dark colours, something I wouldn't normally do and okay I didn't go overboard but had the confidence to try something new.   Secondly the new challenge at Sparkle and Shine, which happens to be purple and orange sparkly pumpkins. Whilst I don't have a pumpkin in sight, the reindeers are round in shape, like pumpkins and I used purple and orange with gold foil and Pretty Pink Posh sequins for sparkle. Also stacked my reindeers.  Well it is interpretational....anyway you decide.

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge is also a similar palette so I am going to pop this in there too.
