who doesn't love a Christmas puppy

With two Golden retrievers at home as you can imagine I'm a sucker for puppy stamps.  This set from Hero Arts is so cute with the puppy in a Christmas stocking.
I coloured him with a mix of pencils and Touch alcohol pens and then added a little Nuvo sparkle pen to the white on the stocking, it's impossible to photograph tonight 😊.  The pencil and pen has given the stocking a bit of velvety appearance with the mottled red. His stocking is held up with a small crystal  rhinestone.

I'm entering this card for the following challenges
Merry Monday red and white (with a touch of cream for the dog, I hope this is OK).
Sparkles Christmas feature a creature.



I hope you like this sweet little puppy.

How adorable!! That puppy is so sweet in the stocking. Looks great with that snowy textured background.

Can you imagine the size of stocking you'd need to fit in Tika or Dylan??!! :) xx

Getting sparkle to show on photos is a real pain, isn't it? But your card is absolutely adorable, with or without sparkle. Thank you for sharing at Sparkles Christmas
