Christmas Kickstart Challenge #116

Hello friends.  Playing along with the Christmas Kickstart Challenge where they have a FUN one this month with cats and dogs...

My family have always been dog lovers and especially my brother, so this challenge worked out perfectly to make his Christmas card.  I started out with Cottage Cutz's Puppy Carolers die and came up with this...

Aren't they just the cutest yappers?!  I die cut the pups from kraft, black & white cs and then ink blended a bit on the kraft and white ones. Their scarves were cut from red, green and kraft scraps and then added a little detail with a white gel pen.

I worked on my background next and started with a piece of Starry Sky (SU!) cs and ink blended around the edges and then splattered white and gold acrylic paints on it.  Next I sprayed it with some gold Sheer shimmer Spritz spray, and boy does this background SHINE!

 I'm hoping you can really see the sparkle and shine in this close up...it really is so pretty!!  To finish I arranged the 3 pups on the card and added a Fa-la-la-la-la sentiment from SB's The Snow Notes die set and a couple music notes from Lawn Fawn's Little Music Notes die set.  I think my brother will get a kick out of this one!!

You can check out Jo and her guest elf Gail's cards right HERE and then play along...this challenge is open till the end of the month!

 

Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!
