This is my card for the color challenge this week at Splitcoast Stampers. Mary picked some fun colors - Berry Burst, Smoky Slate and Granny Apple Green - and further challenged us to make a Christmas card!
I decided to color this little pup kind of like a Shih Tzu. Ten years ago I received a Shih Tzu mix puppy for Christmas and I've hinted that she needs a friend. Maybe this year....
I used my Stampin' Blends in Granny Apple Green and a light YG for the green, then color matched the other colors using Copic markers. For tips on coloring matching Copics please see my earlier posts here and here.
I wanted the sentiment to really stand out so after stamping it, I stamped it again in Versamark ink and heat embossed it using clear embossing powder.
The panels and ornament are glued directly to the card. To give dimension, I used foam dots to lift up the pup and a double layer of foam dots for the present.
I've also entered this in two Simon Says Stamp challenges this week. Monday Challenge - Christmas in July and Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge - Use a Die or Punch
