A Christmas Puppy from the Southern Girls

It's time for another challenge with us at the Southern Girls.

This fortnight Team Lou have created projects to inspire you for the new challenge



Our generous sponsors for this challenge are

Krafters Cart

Colour of Love

~~~*~~~*~~~

Today I have used the Rory's Christmas Puppy digital stamp by Colour of Love, one of our generous sponsors this fortnight to make my card.



I printed the image panel on X-Press It blending card, heat set coloured with Copic markers then trimmed to size.  I used a sketch (details below) to design the layers of my card, combining patterned paper, a die cut bow, die cut snowflakes and punched snowflakes with a touch of sparkle.


I tried a new-to-me Copic marker combo
to give Rory some very festive red hair.



~~~*~~~*~~~

I'm having a little trip down memory lane with Colour of Love today too.
Here are some of my favourite cards using Heather's beautiful images.  If you want to learn more about any of them, just click on the photo and it will take you to the original blog post.
Happy Colouring :)

   
 Daylily Romantique Umbrella      Rory's Wisteria          

   
Steampunk Owl (Tangled Gems)                      Parrot (Tangled Gems)


   
 Flamingo Sunset (Tangled Gems) 

Rory's Just A Little Mer
     
Note: the Steampunk Owl, Parrot and Flamingo Sunset are all from the
Tangled Gems Collection but unfortunately I can't find them in Heather's new shop.

      I'm so sorry to hear that your blog was hacked, I really don't know why people waste so much time wrecking things. I hope you have been able to recover as much as you can from your posts and comments. Thank You so much for letting me know, I will definitely be visiting with more projects to share in the new year.
