Here is my card for the challenge, I had a little fun with this one. I made my brick wall using a MFT stencil on a brusho background and then  added distress inks to the bricks. I had make his nose shiny so I used Nuvo Crystal glaze and for the door handle I used black Pearl pen.


Don't you just love this adorable deer from Gerda Steiner, I just had to have him peeking out the door.

So cute with the reindeer popping out of the door! Love the hint of the brick wall of the house behind the door - it lets the card stay really CAS.
