I just love the little Stampendous “Patient Pup” Christmas stamp. Something about the pup’s expression is so sweet. I just wanted to make this image the focal point of a simple card.
I colored it up with Copic colors, coated the white fuzzy areas of the Santa hat with Studio G glitter glue for sparkle, colored the eyes and nose with a Sakura black Glaze Pen for shine, and fussy cut it out. Then I popped it up on double sided foam adhesive and positioned it on a variety of layers of patterned and plain card stock from my scrap box in red, teal/mint, and pink. The red reverse scallop layer (that I think looks a little like the edges of a postage stamp) is actually the negative of the die cut from the Pretty Pink Posh Scallop Frames Dies that I used on the card I shared in the previous post! The whole card front is glued onto a mint card base and that’s really it!
This is going into a surprise RAK (random act of kindness) package of crafty goodies for a friend who is in need of a boost during these emotional and often difficult holiday season. I hope she enjoys it and all the crafty yumminess I’m sending her. 🙂
