Playing in the CAS Christmas Card Challenge: Dogs and/or Cats!
This fun challenge is hosted by our animal crazy friend, Susan (Cardmaker's Garret).

Darn, I had to order a brand new to me Colorado Crafts Company "Christmas Presents" set....that I already had my eye on. Such a cute set😊
I smiled all the time I was creating my card😊 Enjoy...
I stamped the dog and Christmas gifts image (one stamp) with Versafine black ink onto Strathmore Mixed Media paper using MISTI. Then heat embossed with SU clear EB powder.
Next watercolored with Zigs markers. Then placed the image back in MISTI and stamped the sentiment from the same set and heat embossed.
Then die-cut the frame with Spellbinders Hemstitch Rectangle die. Popped up the image with white craft foam and attached to SU Whisper White 100# card base and Done! Thank you Susan for a fun and easy CAS Christmas Challenge😊

How cute is this! Beautifully water colored and so fun. I can't see Daisy or any sweet doggie waiting this patiently to grab that bone!
ReplyDeleteThis really made me smile Nancy - how is he resisting that bone?! Fab fun card. x
ReplyDeleteJust adorable, Nancy.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog - I think this stamp set is going to get a lot of use.

I couldn't resist this stamp either Nancy. You beat me to the post :)
ReplyDeleteLove your card and it's framed perfectly with the hemstitched rectangle die. Thanks for joining us at CAS Christmas
Nancy, this is so adorable. Beautifully watercolored. Thanks for joining us at CAS Christmas.
ReplyDeleteHa! I just saw this in my Feedly and had to pop over. You know I love it! Wally and LuLu are like kids on Christmas day. Of course, they always get presents. This reminds me of Wally gazing at the presents before they're opened. He will lay by them just like this. I think he can smell the pet supply store. Anyway, This is so fun and adorable. Beautifully colored and perfectly CAS!
ReplyDeleteI thought of Wally and Lulu when I was making my card:-) Such a cute set and sentiments:-) Miss you....Love and Hugs...Nancy
DeleteAdorable card and what a sweet image Nancy x.
ReplyDeleteSuper cute pup and I love that you used the Hemstitch border die on this darling card, Nancy! Thanks so much for playing along with us at CAS Christmas!
ReplyDeleteOMG! I love this and such a shame you had to buy that stamp (NOT)... It's adorable Nancy!
ReplyDeleteAww, so cute. Beautifully watercolored. Love the hemstitch rectangle. I can see why you had to buy this stamp and why you were smiling the whole time you were creating it.
ReplyDeleteOops, forgot to thank you for joining us at CAS Christmas.
DeleteI think you will continue enjoying this stamp set, my friend! What a fun Christmas card!
ReplyDeleteI had to order that stamp set too, Nancy! I love it! But haven't yet used too - must do so soon as you've inspired me! Love your colouring and the use of the hemstitch border. Thanks so much for making a card for the CAS Christmas challenge I'm hosting.
ReplyDeleteOMG, what an adorable card, Nancy! I love how you zig watercolored the dog! Your watercoloring makes the scene even sweeter!
ReplyDeleteThe clean Hemstitch frame and the big white space make the card CAS perfect. I'm so happy to see your card in the CAS Christmas gallery. Thank you! Hugs.. Hideko
This is SUPER CUTE Nancy! I LOVE the expression on the dog's face. He is being so good about not touching that delicious looking bone on top of the gift, but it's taking all he's got to leave it. :) So fun! xx
ReplyDeleteYou already know how much I love this set - Nancy, you have colored your pup so perfectly! Grey dots? Why hadn't I thought of that??
ReplyDeleteSo darling...

These Anita Jeram illustration stamps are so popular at the moment aren't they, and you can see why - they're proper characters! You've coloured this little chap so beautifully but I'm afraid he has a bit of a long wait until Christmas. I don't think we can blame him if he crumbles and goes for the bone! Vicky x
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful stamp and it looks so good on your card.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute holiday card, Nancy! I love the dog laying there gazing at the stack of gifts, with the large bone on top! Your water coloring is so well done! I can't get excited about holiday cards, just yet; give me a couple of months!
ReplyDeleteI am seeing these darling images all over blogland and you may have pushed me over the edge from Wish List to Bought with your design, Nancy! The border and popped up panel showcase him perfectly! Thank you for sharing with everyone at NBUS! Take care and keep safe! Hugs, Dolly
ReplyDeletewhat a great image and I love what you have done with it. That dog is never going to wait! xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a great sentiment with this fun puppy image Nancy! lovely coloring on him and his gifts that he's eagerly waiting to be able to open! xx
