Max' Christmas!

Thank you for your visit today!

Today I want to show you my very first Christmas card. Some people already know my dog Max, a charming retriever, one of my favorite drawings . Well, here's Max, in a forest, giving gifts to his friends. I used the Sketch of Friday Sketchers, which seemed to me very useful, because it allows many combination. I put a beautiful Christmas ribbon and added many, many stitches I made in my sewing machine. I will also enter this card on other Challenges.

Today I drew no Max or Maxine...

I drew their kids and a friend, the Santa "Lazy" Cat...

I made this card with a sketch of EdithDesigns© (that is me!). It seemed nice to me to add to my little family' dog the four puppies and the cat, who brings them gifts. I printed the Image several times for a 3D effect. The Christmas tree has snow and a rhinestone star on the top. I also added a dry embossed background to which a applied the technique of sand paper to highlight the image.

In the inside I sew a pocket, dry embossed, and added a tag, which can be replace with a gift card.

Colors are not typical Christmas colors, but I think they combine very well.

In this card I used:

Image and sentiment from EdithDesigns©, bronze metallic cardstock, Bazzill cardstock, Bohemia Collection paper from My Mind's Eye, Spellbinders Classic Scalloped Circle, Christmas Cuttlebug embossing folder, Caran D'Ache watercolors, acrylic metallic paints, organza ribbon, translucid dew drops, silk thread in bronze and golden colors and my sewing machine.
