Our dogs are getting older and many times I just love to stare at the gorgeous coloring of their fur! LOL It's true and I'm one crazy gal, but I just LOVE gray hair, so now that they are accumulating these gorgeous strands I'm staring at them even more! 

Well, that said, I ended up coloring this Santa Dog NOT the color of either of my red dapple Dachshunds.Creative license doesn't have to make sense!

This simple card came together quick. Here's what I used and how I did it.

From Stampendous:

Santa Dog by Stampendous®

Versafine Onyx Black ink by Tsukineko®

Plus:

Colored Pencils by Prismacolor®

White Core Basics Cardstock by Core'dinations®

Core Essentials Brights Pack by Core'dinations®

Black Magic Pack by Core'dinations®

Sand-It Gadget and Dust Buddy by Core'dinations®

Red ribbon by May Arts Ribbon®

3-in-1 Glue by Beacon Adhesives®

Scissors

Instructions:

1. Stamp image with Onyx Black ink onto white cardstock and color.
2. Trim image measure and cut a piece of Black Magic Freeze 1/2-inch bigger than image.
3. Use Sand-It gadget to distress texture side of paper and wipe dust off with the Dust Buddy.
4. Cut photo corners from 1-inch square cardstock.
5. Glue image onto Black Magic cardstock and the photo corners onto the image.
6. Sand and dust front side of a 4 1/4 x 11 inch cardstock folded in half to a finished size of 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inches.
7. Glue image onto card front and knot ribbon around base of image and around the front flap of the card.
