For my card, I used the cute Dog Pile digi from Eureka. I coloured the image with copics and fussy cut it. I wanted to make something other than just a regular square or rectangular card and I found a great website with lots of ideas for card folds here. It's a great source of inspiration if you want to do something a bit out of the ordinary. I also stamped, coloured and die cut some ornaments using the Lawn Fawn Joy to the Woods stamp set. I used kraft card to create my card base, and covered it with pearlescent copper card. I added a brightly coloured DSP and adhered the dogs onto that. Last, I stamped a sentiment in the bottom panel and added some stickles to the star on top of the dog pile. I think it turned out rather fun!
