Twelve Days of Christmas Cards Challenge


Hello there, blog friends ~ To get everyone into the spirit of the holidays, Kylie Purtell is hosting the 'Twelve Days of Christmas Cards Challenge'! Kylie has invited several designers for inspiration, and she would love to have you play along with us!

One of my favorite stamps and dies to play with this year is the MFT 'Jingle All the Way' set...so many cute images to color, and today I'm playing with Santa and the Pup ~


I started by inking the stencil with SSS Smoke ink, then stamped and colored the images with Copic markers. I embossed the sentiment with white EP on black and added a few silver gems for sparkle. I also added a silver jingle bell to the dog collar for fun :)

So...please hop on over to Kylie's Blog for more information on the challenge! Happy Little Stampers, STAMPlorations and Create a Smile are among the Sponsors so there are some great prizes!




Thanks so much for stopping by ~
