. . . a not quite "real" Llama for Christmas

I'm not sure if he will be happy with this or not,
but I just had to use a llama for our nephew's Christmas card.

Why you may well ask ...

Well, when I learned that he had put "a real llama" on the top
and again at position #10 on his letter to Santa,
how could I resist?!?!?

I used a cut file for a llama treat box from the Silhouette Design Store (details below) and made some additional pieces to transform it into a top folding card.  He is wearing a Christmas collar, with little  bells that really jingle.  I also made a Christmas hat but I didn't like covering his mane.

He looks so cute from the front ...


... and from behind ... check out his tail


There is a lot of dimension with foam dots between many of the layers.



   

And for the record, no, he won't find a "real llama" inside his box,
it is filled with Lego.  Merry Christmas Tom.


*** INGREDIENTS ***
Silhouette Cameo
Silhouette Design Store
Helmar 450 Quick Dry adhesive - to adhere the layers
foam dots - to pop the accent pieces
Tombow Mono Multi Liquid Adhesive - to adhere the accent pieces

  3. What a sweet looking llama, I love the curly hair and gorgeous long lashes. You did a great job layering everything together for a wonderful 3D look, I'm sure Tom will be thrilled to receive it... even though it's not a real llama, it looks just as good and he won't have to clean up after it! Fabulous.
    Cheers,
    Beccy

    1. Thank You Beccy :)
      PS - funny you should mention not cleaning up ... my husband has given me some little dark mints in a tiny bag to put with it ... a compromise, as I refused to glue them on the card!

      ... I hope it helps, it is so hard living so far away and not seeing them as often as we'd like
