Xmas Puppies

My goodness but it's cold outside!  At least I have my snow tires on now....caught unprepared yesterday.  It's supposed to be a bit milder on the weekend, and I'm hoping it melts all away.  Some people may have global warming, but we just have climate change....each day's a surprise.  I dread what this winter might bring.


So let's brighten things up with a Christmas card, using a stamp from the retired Stampavie Lawrence Collection.  Once again done with water colours, I've added a bit of chalk for the background and some glamour dust for the snow.  I've also added some glossy accents for the noses and the holly leaves, while the berries are accented with stickles.

The papers are definitely oldies but goodies, and you'll see I dressed it all up with plenty of gold borders and some lovely ribbon.  The sentiment is made from glitter paper using a die from Elizabeth Craft Designs.

Hope you enjoyed your visit, and thanks for stopping by.

    Such a darling card, the image is just adorable and love your coloring. Really cold here in IL too, although we don't have any snow yet (just had tiny bit on the weekend).

    A gorgeous fun Christmas card Joyce. I really like the colours in the Holly background paper and the plaid bow finishes it off beautifully.
