CAS Christmas Card Challenge Mid Month Reminder

Hi Everyone, it's time for CAS Christmas card challenge Mid Month Reminder.


The challenge this month is to bring out the bells.  This cute little Dachshund from Katzelkraft is strutting his stuff with his Santa had with a bell.
I watercoloured him with Inktense pencils and shadow black watercolours.


The sentiment is from one of the Dyan Reaveley Christmas sets from Dylusion. I cut them out and put some foam tape behind and also popped up the little dog with foam tape.


Thank you for dropping by and checking out my card, and I hope you play along with us.

Haha! This is so cute. I love the sentiment. I would imagine a dog would get pretty annoyed having to wear bells.

That is such a funny sentiment Christine, and I'm amused to think of the grumpy 'santa' having to deliver cards before getting his treat! Vicky x
