I had a rummage through my bag of leftovers and scraps to see if I could make something for the challenge at Shopping our Stash. I found a die-cut (Silhouette) bauble with the middle missing and a scrap of card with a background I made with metallic marker pens and water, Also some sentiments - I chose the Joy one because it went with the challenge at Fusion .
I stamped a reindeer ( old magazine freebie) onto the background, put it behind the bauble and trimmed it. I used patterned paper from an Authentique pad and smudged white ink and embosing powder on the edges. I added twine and a bell.
As well as Shopping our Stash and Fusion, I'd like to enter:

This is the perfect mix of traditional Christmas items and a contemporary look. It really appeals to me. It's well worth to shop ones stash once in awhile...
This is so gorgeous! xxx
I love your ink and embossing powder smudging, what a fabulous effect. Great Christmas card, Marina. Thanks for sharing with us at Just Add Ink this week. x
This is really beautiful Marina

The earthy metallic tones really look wonderful here Marina. I love how the tiny reindeer image is centred in the bauble. Thanks for joining us at Just Add Ink this week.
It's really lovely! I love the BG and stamping that little reindeer on the bauble is so clever!
Fabulous card. Love those smudgy white edges too. Thanks for joining us at the Crafters Café this time, CarolG DT

Such a fantastic use of colour Marina! I love how your reindeer is enclosed in your lovely ornament and the delightful background you've created too. Thanks for sharing with us at Just Add Ink this week :-)
This is a beautiful rustic holiday card-- would be suitable for a man and/or a woman, plus non-denominational... great card for your stash! I adore the way you smeared ink at the edges. Thanks for sharing at SOS!
Great card, Marina! I love the unstructured white edging you've given the paper, and love the bold white sentiment. Thanks for joining in the fun at Just Add Ink this week!
Wow, I absolutely love this! This has such an artsy feel and I love the color combo. Amazing that you just did this out of scraps!
Thanks for joining us at Just Add Ink this week, Marina. You've made great use of scraps to create a really modern Christmas card. Nice work.

Wonderful design. Thanks for joining us at The Crafter's Cafe this fortnight for our "Christmas comes early" challenge.
Well if this is what happens when you rummage through your stash, you should rummage more often! It's absolutely fab! Thanks for playing along at Fusion!
