Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer is probably the first holiday song we learn as children. It's easy. It rhymes. It transports children (and adults) into a magical fantasy world where reindeer's are Super-Heroes. It is the ultimate in stretching the imagination and we all might as well admit it; we actively searched for reindeer, specifically Rudolph, and believed for the longest time that Rudolph and Santa existed and without that magical combination, gifts simply would not arrive in time for the morning delight.I'm drawing a blank as to where the words, "Merry" and "Bright" in terms of the holiday season come from. I can't remember if it's from a movie, song or story, but I do know somewhere in the tradition of the winter holiday, there's a line stating, "All is Merry and Bright." Playing off of those five little words and finding the most perfectly understated paper with trees and "snowflakes" and having the two perfect reindeer, I created this card. The card features two fawn brown reindeer (they're kissing!), complete with red glittered noses (a la Rudolph), silver and gold glittered antlers, and black, glittered hooves. Topping off the entire design is the crushed velvet flocked ears and tail of each reindeer and a pair of "googley eyes." The word, "Merry" is written in silver pen on the left reindeer and "Bright" is written in gold on the right reindeer, tying in the color of their antlers. The inside of the card reads, "All is Merry and Bright this holiday season. Happy Holidays!"
Now, isn't this better than the 15 boring Santa cards you'll receive this year???
