A Fun CAS Christmas Thank You

Hello Everyone!

I have been out sick for a couple of days now, but was finally coming around this afternoon so went downstairs for a little stamping therapy.  I wanted to play with a couple of new stamps that I got over the summer at a stamp show.

I stamped my image in Stazon as I wanted to watercolor in a background around it.  I had to be careful when coloring with Copics to not bleed the Stazon.  Also, the image is stamped on mixed media paper and the Copics really bleed on this paper, so again, caution and patience were needed to color the image.
The banners were stamped on dsp and the "THX" stamped on the red banner.  Both banners were fussy cut out and adhered to the card with the red banner popped up on dimensionals. 
The colors came from SCS Color Challenge this week- Gumball Green, Blushing Bride and Real Red.  The sketch is from Seize the Sketch.


The card is also for Simon Says Stamp Challenge, which is-to use a stamp!
Over at Merry Monday, the challenge is to use an animal on our Christmas card. 
And at 613 Avenue Create, the challenge is all about CAS cards.
Thanks for popping in and enjoy these last few days  before Christmas!

Lee Ann  :)

    Such a sweet card. Love the double banners and your image is totally cute. Need to check that one out, since we involuntarily became the owners of a sweet pup after someone dumped it in our garden 7 weeks ago.

    I saw your card in 2 places and a winner to boot! Way to go. I smiled as soon as I saw it. The sketch you used made the card jump out at me. I like how you added your own personal touch to the sketch.

    This wee image really made me smile. I do hope there was something at the bottom of the stocking for him. A lovely card. Thank you so much for joining us at Merry Monday. A belated Merry Christmas and all the best for the New Year Lee Ann.
