The Dog's Whiskers

Good Evening

Two posts in a day - wonders never cease!

This is a special Christmas card I was asked to make for someone with a Westie:

I went straight to the fab Furry Friends cd-rom from Joanna Sheen and found the perfect image.  The backing paper is also from the cd-rom.  I made the shaker window using a wonky rectangle spellbinders die and then ran it through the big shot with swiss dots embossing folder.  Pinflair Ice Diamond and snowflakes punched with a Martha Stewart punch were used to create the shaker elements.  Marianne dies were used for the ribbon border and the poinsettias, and crystal glitter was added to the centres of the flowers for extra sparkle.  The sentiment is Lili of the Valley stamped with Fired Brick distress ink.

I would like to enter my card in the following challenges:

Good Afternoon

My card for today is made using the adorable Snowman cd-rom from Crafters Companion:

This is from the decoupage section and the backing paper is from the same cd. The mats are all made from holographic card, the snowflake border is a Memory Box die, the sentiment is Lili of the Valley, sat on an Spellbinders ironworks die.  Some frosty card candy has been added to complete the card.
