This is for FS18 and our inspiration artist is Seewah- Sarah. I fell in love with a Christmas card she did with a door in it and there are two scenes to view Welcome to the Claus Home (open) by seewah at Splitcoaststampers and Welcome to the Claus Home by seewah at Splitcoaststampers. I got to thinking about my Bow Wow and Meow Meow sets and how I could do a funny play on Sarah's card. I loved that Sarah created the ceiling and floor of the house with Mrs. Claus out of cardstock. I decided to do the same with my tree leaves and grassy area. I really wanted to keep it simple and clean like Sarah did but somehow I always take things a little too far. I just can't help myself. I stamped and masked the dog and then stamped the doghouse. I hand sketched the tree trunk and lines for the outside of the house and then painted everything with reinkers and watercolor brush. I used an image from Wildflowers for the leaves on the tree and used an olive marker to create the grassy sprigs on the ground I used a scruffy brush to create the brown door and tried to do the faux wood thing but it didn't turn out too great. I stamped the cat on the inside of the door and painted with reinkers. I sketched out the little rug around the cat basket and then sponged brocade blue on the wall for background. I will send this to someone who is an animal lover and will write a fun note inside when I do. See No Justice for details

This is so darling! And, there is no justice that cats sleep in a warm, cozy bed, and many dogs sleep out in the cold (not ours, of course, they sleep on our bed too!) Cute card, thanks for sharing!
