Christmas Puppy Dogs

I'm a doggy person through & through, but seldom use my 2 very old wood mounted doggy stamps.  The Christmas Kickstart theme made me get this one out & finally a card came together.


I also used one of my first stamps from 20+ years ago--the Denami branch--still a favorite!  I love red & kraft for Christmas, so stamped the dogs in Versafine Clair Acorn on PTI Classic Kraft.  The branch was stamped 1st, 2nd & 3rd generation using Delicata Emerald Green.  The sentiment from W&W was stamped in Brilliance Rocket Red & I added Christmas Red Stickles.  The dogs didn't show up enough, so I very carefully added some Brilliance Pearlescent Chocolate with a Fantastix tool & darkened the eyes with a brown marker.  Still needed something, so I added distressing with the brown ink around the edges.  Finished off with red & white metallic twine & mounted the panel with fun foam to the red textured card front.  The reds are bright & pretty in person.  I'm also entering Rudolph Days.
My puppy dog is having stomach issues again & we're expecting 100 degrees, so this is likely going to be a long day.

Thanks so much for taking time to stop by.  If your blog address is in your profile or comment, I will visit you.

    Oh no, poor Fritz. I hope his is better by now. It is so hard to have you dog sick and the heat doesn't help. This is an adorable card with those sweet puppies. I love how you did the frame around the card. Sending pats for Fritz and snifts from Molly.
