I didn't want to miss another Merry Monday challenge so I searched all my papers, stamps & stickers but couldn't find any mistletoe. Decided to see if I could print an image from the internet & make that work. I hadn't paid attention to the challenge picture, but you may find that hard to believe as they're so similar. I colored with markers over the bow to get a richer look, sprayed with Glimmer Mist & added pearls to the berries. My sentiment is from Penny Black's "yuletide greetings" & is heat embossed & popped up. This turned out to be
a fun project & an end result I like. Several snippets, so I'll enter this over at Pixies Crafty Workshop.Puppy Fritz is adjusting to his new life & acts like we've always been his mom & dad. He's a real sweetie & all the work involved is worth it!
Thought you might enjoy this picture of him with his big stuffed toy. He's about 32 pounds & has a lot of growing to do.
I'm slowly catching up on your blogs, so don't give up on me. Enjoy the weekend.
Wow I love your card Greta, that shine and glimmer is so rich and beautiful, love the added pearls!!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous Christmas card! Love the shimmer and shine and pretty pearls! Sweet photo of Fritz, too!:-)
ReplyDeleteYou win!!!!!! Hi Greta ...this is stunning! Love the mist you sprayed on this gorgeous card. Wow!
ReplyDeleteThis is beautiful. Love the shimmer and shine!
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you enjoying some crafty time, Great, with all your new doggie mom responsibilities! Your mistletoe looks like the photo because they pretty much all look like that and a glorious sight they all are, too! I love the design of your card very much!! And I love that Fritz's toy is a bunny for Easter time!! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteStunning card Greta, so sparkly and such a beautiful design too. I do have a mistletoe stamp and, as Darnell says. I suspect most mistletoe looks much the same (albeit not always with a luscious red bow :)
ReplyDeleteFritz looks to be a real darling too, aw.
Hugs

ReplyDeleteWonderfully shimmery card, smart idea to get your image. Glad Fritz is settling in.
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty, shimmery, wonderful card; even prettier than the inspiration photo! As for Fritz - well, how adorable he is!! Love that 'what's up' face he's giving the camera, as though he's wondering why his playtime with his bunny has been disrupted. Sweetness++++ My two mini schnauzers, combined, weighed less than he does now (12 and 15, each); I need to remember he's a standard - just a 'bigger' package to love! Hugs~c
ReplyDeleteOh, Greta, I'm just getting caught up with your wonderful new cards...and photos of Fritz! What a sweetie! I love this Christmas card and envy you for having started! Hugs, sweet friend!
