Here Comes Santa Paws for JAI #381

Happy Friday and welcome! It's been a week of changing weather, some warmish days amongst thunderstorms and rain and the Spring allergies seem to be in full force. Melbourne is certainly trying to keep it's famous Four Seasons in One Day reputation. But the Summer veggie seedlings are in and we are looking forward to harvest already :-)

It's time for a new challenge at Just Add Ink and this week we have a fun Choose Two option for you to use in your projects suggested by me so I hope you can enjoy it :-) You can choose two of either Embossing Paste, Colouring or Sequins and our lovely design team have created such wonderful projects to inspire you so I hope you can take a moment to pop on over and hopefully join us :-)

For my card, I started by water colouring the middle of the background and when it was dry I added some embossing paste with Dazzling Diamonds glitter mixed through to the top and bottom using one of the Seasonal Patterns masks.  Then Santa Paws was coloured with Copics and fussy cut - and of course "she" had to be black as we tend to dress Sally the Lab in a Santa's helpers Elf suit every year to deliver a hamper to our favourite vets - not that she loves dress ups but she puts up with it LOL!

The sleigh is from Santa's Sleigh and is die cut from both Diamond and Red Glimmer paper. The presents are stamped on DSP and easily fussy cut. It is all so more sparkly in real life :-)

As for Santa's Elf, she doesn't seem so enthused this year - in fact she seems to be giving me "the  look" maybe she knows we are a tad early :-)
