These pets are out early to post their Christmas cards. The design came about because I wanted to use the lovely German Postbox die cut which I'd received from a friend. Coloured it using alcohol pens and then racked my brains for ways it could be incorporated into a card design. I eventually came up with the idea of the pets and a few robins for good measure. You will see I've again used the tree die as a background but with some different DSP for the sky. Sorted out some suitable snippets of card, die cut and assembled the dog and cat; stamped, coloured and die cut the robins and embossed a piece of curvy white card with some 'snow'. I really enjoy dreaming up this sort of design and then playing around with the components to build the card which will hopefully make someone smile at Christmas. Mixing items from various stamp/die sets is a fun thing to do but I'm always careful to return them to their 'home' when the work is finished 😉
