I'm not done with doing Christmas cards quite yet and since there's still more than a week left in July, I guess I can continue to increase my stash of Christmas-in-July cards. :-D
For this one, I used a darling image from AuroraWings. The minute I saw it, I knew I had to color it as a collie puppy. I have a friend who has raised and bred collie show dogs for many years and this will make a perfect card for her this year.
The puppy is colored with ProMarkers, then die cut and framed (die from Spellbinders.) The background is embossed with Swiss Dots. Both ribbons came from my stash and the sentiment is from QKR Stampede, hand cut and matted with a scrap of the embossed CS. This is a small card, only 4" x 4".
Challenges:
A Gem of a Challenge
Christmas Card
Crafty Hazelnut's Christmas
Di's Digi Designs
Jo's Scrap Shack
Lil Patch of Crafty Friends

I'm off now to get errands run, do some shopping, and then come home and get some of that dreaded housework done. No time for crafting today but I do have a post already scheduled for tomorrow, a result of staying up late last night. Happy Stamping. NanaConnie

Always love seeing Christmas stuff all year round. I love how you colored the puppy as a Collie puppy, Nana Connie. I had a beautiful Collie decades ago myself and I am very drawn to your lovely Christmas card. Thank you for playing at Aurora Wings Challenge! Mitzi xx
