Hello Everyone....
The sun is cracking the flags, I have my fan on to help me cool down and I have been sat at my desk making a Christmas card, complete with snowflakes, just seems sooooo wrong (ha, ha)
Like some other Christmas cards I have made recently, this one took me a while to complete. Out came my light box and brass stencil and I also did some sewing by hand, but please don't look too closely as its very wonky !!! I cut all the dog images out and layered up using silicone glue. I used chalks to colour in the holly leaves and berrys as I thought the embossed card needed a bit of colour. The card stock is lovely as well - it has 'Seasons Greetings printed in gold all around the outside edge of the card. Overall I had a relaxing time making this Christmas card.
I am going to enter my card into the following challenges:
My Time To Craft No 96 - Yuletide In June

Love Diane xx

Hello Diane
What a stunning card, I love your embossing it's fantastic. The embossing is subtle and contrasts perfectly with the darker colours of the image and base card.
Thank you for joining in with our latest challange at Bah! Humbug!
