Lili Of The Valley - Yule Dog

Hi everyone

Today I'm sharing one of my latest cards using the new digi stamps from Lili Of The Valley's 2nd Christmas launch. The stamp and sentiment I've used is called 'Yule Dog', and I used Copic pens to colour with. I hope you like it. x (For Sale - £4.50 + P&P - email me for information)

For your information, here is the link to the LOTV Etsy Store to check out all the digi stamps, and the LOTV online store to check out the rest of their goodies.

Here's What I Did

First I added trimmed down a piece of patterned paper slightly smaller than my 6" x 6" card blank, to leave a slim border around the edge. I inked around the edges of the paper using blue distress ink and attached to the card front.

Using my graphics software I imported the cute little doggie and sentiment, then resized them both to fit my square die. The image was printed out again onto masking paper, and fussy cut out leaving a large section beneath the dog for the snowy area. I covered over the little doggie and added a little blue distressing inks to the sky. When the ink was dry I coloured the image using Copic pens and added a few squiggles to the sky with a few blue Copic pens for interest. Using a white pen I added dots to the sky for snow. 

I added die cut shapes to the left hand side of the square to add a little extra detail. The completed image was then mounted on a red scalloped square, and funky foam was added to the back. The topper was added to the centre of the card front. To finish off the card I add a little glitter and a gem.
