| Once again mass production came to a grinding halt after 3. I promised at least dozen cards to help keep our furry friends keep warm this winter. Off to a slow start... |
 |
| The stamps are by Clearly Besotted from the set called "Christmas Cheer", cut out with coordinating dies. |
 |
| Trying to keep it CAS. I used twine, Stickles and bling to jazz things up. And some wood grain embossing for texture. Inks used in this project: Memento Tuxedo Black, Cottage Ivy, Morroco, Rhubarb Stalk, Rich Cocoa, Desert Sand and Versacolor Scarlet. |
 |
| And plenty of low-rise foam tape for dimension. |
 |
| On the inside I stamped a sentiment from WMS Compliments of the Season. |
