Welcome to Double Trouble Challenge 68!
This is an interesting challenge... Slimline cards are all the rage right now and this challenge requires a slimline card. The additional elements include using something with a visible TAIL and linking up to one of the challenge partners for Double Trouble. All the details can be found on the Double Trouble Challenge Blog.
Since I really need to work on Christmas cards, I decided to go that route. Finding a tail... that was another story. I located an old stamp that has a "rein-dog" with a short little tail. Hey, it's a tail, right?
I started by Cricut cutting the trees for the background. They were layered along the top 2/3 of the card. I stamped and coloured Santa and the rein-dog. Those images were fussy cut. I used a shaped die to cut the snowbanks and layered them using craft foam. Santa and his rein-dog were placed between the top two layers of snow. I added a sentiment and brushed the centres of the large trees and the tops of the snowbanks with the Clear Shimmer Brush. I also coloured some Bitty Sparkles and added them around the tree tops.
Come and join us at Double Trouble and show us how you interpret the elements of this challenge.
I am also linking my card with Colour Dare #414 - that colour grid is shown below.

Adorable Christmas card and love your cricut cuts for your background... and yes I thought it was a deer and it's fun to see it's a dressed up rein-dog, like you say it's a tail.
Awww, I think the rein-dog is adorable, a little tiny tail still counts! Neat layered background too.
I love your sweet Santa card! I need to go check out the Color Dare! I love color challenges. They get me to think outside the box
