This week's 52 Christmas Card Throwdown is "for a child". And the CAS challenge is "cute critters". So a perfect opportunity to use a stamp I just bought. Love the naughty dog stealing the snowman's hat and scarf! And it worked perfectly for a card to fit a stray odd-sized envelope I had in my stash.
I used mixed media cs for the image as it allows enough time to blend the distress markers with water. I put stickles on the snowflakes and then glue on the hats with tinsel glitter, but the stickles weren't dry so the tinsel glitter stuck to the snowflakes as well. It makes it all quite sparkly so I'm adding it to the Happy Little Stampers "sparkle" challenge as well.

LOL! This is a brilliant image - love it. Great colouring and I do like the touch of sparkle with the glitter! Thanks so much for playing along with 52CCT and I'm sorry I'm so late commenting! x
