As I mentioned in my three prior posts, I am crafting a holiday puppy (my favorite!) wreath. This is part 4. As each one of these pieces could be used to create a holiday gift tag, ornament, embellishment or card, I’m sharing the process in the hopes this might be useful to you as you create your own holiday crafts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the 7th – 9th parts of the wreath, I used three more of the pups from the Mama Elephant Yappy Woofmas stamp set<\/a> and Copic colored them using the following colors (featuring my favorite Christmas color combination \u2013 red, white and aqua):
Australian Shephard with snowballs<\/u>: N3, N5, E11, E13
Terrier with snowballs<\/u>: N0, N3, N5, R30 with Uniball Signo White Gel Pen details for furry texture
Bernese Mountain Dog with antlers<\/u>: N0, E53, E55, E57 and E79
with Uniball Signo White Gel Pen details for furry texture
Floors<\/u>: W3 and W5
Santa hat, candy cane, snowballs, collar, bell, antlers and scarves<\/u>: C0, Y13, Y17, BG11, BG13, BG15, R35, R37, and R39 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I also used the Uniball Signo White Gel Pen <\/a>to add highlights to the noses and used a Sakura Black Glaze Pen<\/a> to emphasize the eyes and noses. Since I was keeping all of these tags CAS (clean and simple with zero embellishments), to add a bit of interest, I added Clear Wink of Stella<\/a> to the candy cane and all the snowballs for some sparkle and shimmer as well as Ranger Glossy Accents<\/a> to the antlers and the candy cane for some high shine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I die cut the images using the 7th largest circle die from the\u00a0Diemond Dies Die-Normous Stack-Ems Circle Nesting Die Set<\/a>. Then to create frames for the pieces, I used beautiful sparkly shimmer red card stock and the 5th and 7th largest circles from the\u00a0Diemond Dies Die-Normous Stack-Ems Circle Nesting Die Set<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0
