A big congrats to Kristine, the newest Featured Stamper (FS791) on Splitcoast. She has a beautiful gallery & after much browsing, I chose THIS to case. I kept the cute dog theme but ended up changing most everything else. I used different stamps, dies & colors & used fewer layers w/ no designer paper.
After coloring the cute dog couple, I die cut them along w/ a few extra blanks in order to pop them up a bit. The kraft bg was stamped w/ a cheesecloth bg & cinnamon ink. I wanted a narrow, dk brown layer behind the dogs, but didn’t have the right color so I used a Copic marker to color just around the edges that would show before attaching it. The outline heart was also colored w/ Copics & I used a clear glaze pen to add some shine & dimension to the tiny hearts above the greeting & also the dogs’ eyes.
These are the Copics I used:

A big congrats to Amy, the newest Featured Stamper (FS774) on Splitcoast! She has a wonderful gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the dog/doghouse Christmas theme, but used all dies & a different layout & colors on mine. I’m also combining this w/ the Splitcoaststampers Fan Club December Christmas Challenge! You’ll need to be Fan Club member but that’s easy…just click the blue link to find out how. Bet you’re wondering what the challenge theme is..I’d love to tell you but you’ll have to go see for yourself. Hint..I’m really loving the new theme for this year.
For my doggy Christmas card, I die cut all the pieces for the dog, house, & little Christmas items out of scraps of different colored card stock & put them all together. I added a snowy roofline & chimney w/ smoke to the roof & perched a little bird on there, as well. Only 1 side of a lg scallop die was used for the green trim down the side of the narrow red panel. The dog & house are popped up a bit w/ foam.

Fun site for the Splitcoast Inspiration Challenge (IC758)! I was inspired by THIS picture.
For my scene, I stamped & colored the lady & her guide dog & stamped the greeting along side. It just looked too empty & I couldn’t find anything I wanted to put behind her. So I used a pencil to sketch the little buildings & then a few grey Copics to color them in. Just a side note: in case you ever use a pencil then color in w/ Copics, be aware that if you color over your pencil line, you will not be able to erase it. It didn’t matter since I used greys, but it might matter if you use other light colors. Apparently the Copic (or any other alcohol based marker) makes the pencil permanent. So there’s your tip of the week!
Since my main panel is a square, I needed something to fill in the rectangle of the card front. I used a gray layer & cut the side angle, then stamped one section of the plaid (stripe) bg in gray ink.
Here are the Copics I used:
