Watercoloured Reindeer with Interchangeable Antlers Card

A project from our live show CATCH UP on Fridays Launch WOW LETS CREATE broadcast from the HTCN studio 15th Oct 21 · 15/10/2021

Design a charming reindeer card with a stamped farm animal and interchangeable antler options. Use oxide inks in two shades of green to add dimension and shadow to the antlers, then layer everything onto a grey card base with vellum, sequins and sparkle for a festive winter scene.
