Mosaic Reindeer Christmas

The thing I love about inspiration challenges (at least for me) is that I never know where I'm going to end-up with my design.  

I looked at the pictures in the Essentials by Ellen Pin-Sights Challenge and had several ideas ... but I always let myself go through all of my EBE stamps, and I pull out any sets that I think might work.

I initially thought I might use a bird image, but then I became fixated on the mosaic design and how I could use that as my inspiration.  I stamped one of the stamps from EBE Season to Sparklehttps://www.ellenhutson.com/essentials-by-ellen-clear-stamps-season-to-sparkle-by-julie-ebersole/ in Royal blue with one of my gel press prints that had all of the colors from the bottom half of the color palette. 

My bird was then replaced by die-cutting the EBE leaping reindeer from royal blue cardstock to get the same contrasted color effect.  I added a row of champagne gems to bring in the stacked-rock element of the design.  I finished with the sentiment from Season to Sparkle embossed in Royal Blue on Gold Shimmer cardstock (for the reflective shimmer of the water in the Inspiration Photo).  

I love how my card incorporates all of the elements of the Pin-Sights picture.

I'm also joining the Creatalicious Challenges where the optional theme is make your own background.
