Good Morning everyone - a nice wet start to the week here
Well its not usual for me to start Christmas cards so early but i guess having had more craft time lately im upto date with birthdays....i was trying out my new Katzelkraft stamp - this fab little doggie, ive teamed him up with an acetate cardblank.
A6 cardblank - made from this really dotty printed acetate - no idea where it came from just one of those things i found in my stash! I used a piece of blue paper for my insert and folded it patterned side out so it shows through the acetate as a sky.
I stamped the dog onto white card and added colour with my inktense pencils, i then fussy cut him out. I die cut a curved border die from white card for a snowy ground for him to stand on. I stamped the sentiment on this fab christmas tree die cuts - i was sent them by a friend so no idea of the make - as the white didn't match my own i add a little brown and green to the tree and added glitter glue. I added a few dots of glitter to the sky to add to the snow effect.
Close up on little doggie - i added gold glitter to his bell and white to his hat
Items Used:
Katzelkraft stamp - 'Christmas stamp' SOLO145
Clearly besotted sentiment stamps
MFT stitched curved edge die
Scallop frame die
Tree die cut - brand unknown
Dotty acetate
CraftUK white linen card
Ranger stickles glitter glue - Diamond, gold, frosted lace
