Santa Paws

Welcome to the newest sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches where our hostess this week is Narelle Farrugia.  I thought it was about time I started on some Christmas cards, although, if things go like last year, I won't send any out.  I find it hard to celebrate Christmas and last year I gave myself permission to not celebrate it.


Anyway, onto the card.  I was pressed for time, so found this pre-coloured image (badly coloured I might add!) and decided that was going to be the focal point for my card.  Onto a white card base, I stamped the Holly Jolly background stamp with Morning Frost ink, then added a panel of vellum to soften the stamping.  I chose three colours of cardstock to match the dog image and die-cut with a Wonky Rectangles die.  Onto the red panel I white heat-embossed the sentiment.



I finished with some ruby red pearls and called it done.




Thanks for visiting.  The design team have some gorgeous cards so I hope you'll check them out.

So sorry that Christmas is a tough time for you.
I love what you did with this cute pup and you've reminded me that I have these stamps.
Thank you for choosing my penguin card for last week's FMS xxx
