Christmas Hugs

I have another Christmas card to share today...featuring a couple of pups from the 'Christmas Hugs' set by Penny Black. I stamped them on to a snippet of watercolour paper, coloured them using watercolour pencils, then carefully cut them out. For the background, I layered a piece of snowflake paper (from the 'Glittering Snowflakes' pad by Crafter's Companion) on to a snippet of navy card, then added a snippet of white card...tearing the top edge to give a 'snowy' effect...along the bottom. I cut a star (using a die from the 'Snowy Stars' set by Tim Holtz for Sizzix) and sentiment (using a Poppy Stamps die called 'Folksy Merry Christmas') from snippets of silver mirror card, and popped those on to the snowy background, then added the dogs using 3D foam pads.
