Hi everyone,
Welcome to the CAS Christmas February Challenge! This month's challenge is hosted by our animal lover Designer, Susan (Cardmaker's Garret). She chose Dogs and/or Cats as the theme. We have a wonderful Guest Designer, Jane (Onions and Paper).
I used an adorable stamp set from My Favorite Things, and made this card.
[How I made the card]
1. Heat-embossed the sentiment 6 times in white on a piece of mixed media paper.
2. Masked the bottom sentiment and white heat-embossed the puppy.
3. Colored the puppy with color pencils, and added black to its eyes with the glaze pen.
4. Die-cut the double stitched frame and glued the front panel to the card base.
Coloring is not my forte, but I felt color-penciling on tan mixed media paper was more forgiving (you can easily erase your mistakes), and I liked it. 😊
Fun and cute dogs/cats Christmas cards are waiting to see you at the challenge site. Please check it out and join the fun!
