It's getting closer...


 Good morning, I'm here today with a reminder that our November challenge at 
is over half way through. The theme for this month is
 Getting Ready For Christmas. 
our sponsor this time is 
PENNY BLACK

To make my card I die cut a square of white cardstock and stamped the little dog using a PB wood backed stamp I've had for years, coloured him with Copic markers. I die cut a circle aperture, first cutting around the dog's head.  I used a  Christmas tree mask and green Distress Ink to create the border, the stamped the little holly sprigs.
 Using the same colour ink I sponged another offcut of white card , then stamped and embossed the sentiment (another PB wood mounted stamp). I placed a piece of snow printed acetate in the aperture over the sentiment using foam tape for a little dimension. (Not sure if I'm making any sense here....) 
Another Christmas card done!

Please check out the main challenge blog for details of how to enter and the lovely prize on offer.
Thanks for stopping by,
have a good day
Chris

Love your card with the oh so cute dog. Time is certainly creeping up and must get started on my christmas cards. Spoke to my Pharmacist and he told me that Styes are self limiting and they don't favour using creams on them anymore and to just keep on with the bathing it. Has cleared up a lot from last week and inside of my eye is not as red. Hugs Mrs A.
