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

Oh, Kittie, this is adorable. Our cat disagrees though--it's the dog that gets all the attention! But both animals sleep with us, one on DH's side, the other on mine! Sometimes it's hard getting out of bed in the morning.
