Sam and Toby<\/p><\/div>\n

The mostly white dog with light brown ears is colored with Copic markers: W1, W3, and E23. The black and white dog is colored up with W1, 3, 5, 7 and 9. \u00a0The two Santa hats are colored with R24, 29, and 39 with the white fluffy dimension added with some Deco Art Snow Writer Paint<\/a><\/span>. \u00a0To make them look a little more lifelike, I also added white highlights on the eyes and noses and furry details with a white Sakura Gelly Roll pen<\/a><\/span>\u00a0and touched the eyes and noses with Glossy Accents.<\/p>\n

For the card front,\u00a0I used up an old scrap of pale green damask patterned paper from my scrap box. I layered it with a piece of vellum die cut with the largest rectangle from the\u00a0My Favorite Things Cross Stitched STAX Rectangle Die Set<\/a><\/span>, which I heat embossed\u00a0with a nice, substantial “Happy Holidays” stamp from Unity’s Christmas Eve Chowder stamp set<\/a><\/span> and some charcoal grey Zing! embossing powder.<\/p>\n

Then I went to town designing the card with the Diemond Dies Pine Branch Die<\/a><\/span> and the Diemond Dies Christmas Ornament Die<\/a><\/span>. I die cut the branches with white card stock (rather than green) to give a more clean, winter wonderland look, and I die cut the ornaments from pale green an silver glitter paper to add sparkle and shine. \u00a0I snipped off the top of the ornaments to alternate the colors and did the same for the stars and tiny dots that were die cut from the ornaments. \u00a0I glued them back into the alternate colored ornaments to add a little extra interest. Lastly I used silver Stickles to draw in the strings for the ornaments.<\/p>\n
