I've been looking forward to doing this card because I can get my Little Sparkle involved. She is nearly 2 years old so painting a reindeer is a bit beyond her at the moment (maybe next year after she starts university). So this is perfect for her because it only involves a thumbprints worth of participation.
You will need: white card, brown acrylic paint, your families thumbs, super tack glue pen, red foil art, gold foil art and a black pen.
Cut and fold your card (I did 10cmx15cm, but if you have a bigger family maybe make it a little wider). If you bought the foil art extreme kit. The cards in the pack are perfect for this project.
Paint your thumbprint and press it onto your card (warning: this step may cause flashbacks of the home affairs department).
When you have the families prints and they have dried. Draw on your antlers, if you are brave you can do this step with the glue pen. Otherwise draw the antlers with a pencil then follow over them with the glue pen. Also do a nice big glue dot for the nose. Leave to dry until it goes tacky.
Place and press the gold foil over the antlers, making sure you don't lay the foil over the nose.Can you see in the picture how the foil is pressed down, even the sides of the glue?The rounded shape of the glue means you really need to press it down on all sides. Then rip it off firmly.
Place and press the red foil over the noses. Rip it off.
Draw some eyes, ears and a cute little mouth with your black pen.
There you have it a cute little Rudolph (and family) with a very shiny nose. This will definetly bring a smile to the face of my aunt when she opens her mail this year. Who are you going to be sending your reindeer cards to this year?
