dog holiday cards

Hi!  I wanted to share a couple of Christmas cards I created recently using the Stamps of Life  Friendsforcookie stamps.

 I really love how this one turned out.  Although I love Boxers best, I used to have a dachshund mix, so I have a special place in my heart for cute little weenie dogs. Also used for this card is the dotted background die set, stitched rectangles die set, hat dies from hats4critters, dog bone from treats4cookie, happy holidays from penguins4christmas.  I die cut the dotted background on white, and then used two different alcohol inks in blue and dabbed it on.  It's been a while since I've used my alcohol ink by tim holtz. I love them.

 Another friends4cookie along with the hat die again, and the mittens2stamp set.  The background paper is my minds eye. The whole thing is spritz with perfect pearls mist.

 This is not a friends for cookie card, but it is doggie themed and I love how it turned out, too, so including it here... Lots on this card:  kindness step up card die, hatsforcritters, fireplace2stamp, stockings4christmas, tree triplits, gift triplits, holly and ornaments from holiday/christmas 3d drop in die set(s). scallop border...  cut out fireplace hole and added vellum. I stamped on the vellum, but added stamped/colored logs on it to be darker, but left flames colored on vellum only to glow. Place battery operated tealight under card. glowing fire!  :)
