Isn't he a handsome fellow? I had a friend bring this die set back from the UK in the summer and decided Christmas was a good time to use it. I chose to isolate the profile and cut to fit the circle of red foil here. The full size is below. Can be purchased from JJD Cards.
I made two cards. Gave the first away and decided I wanted one for us, so hubby got the second one!
The wreath is made with Spellbinders hot foiling plate "Christmas Foliage Circle Border." I foiled it in thirds to create the wreath. It was not as difficult to line up as I feared. The green cardstock is Michael's Recollections brand and smooth enough to get a good result with the foil.
There is a thick circle outline that I foiled on red foil cardstock which also worked well. I made use of the red foil cardstock to mat the layers. Coloured the bow tie with a burgundy Copic marker.
For my second card I used the red foil cardstock again and an old Spellbinders Imperial Gold Circles One frame die set; die cut the bow tie from the same red foil, and hot foiled (with a laminator) Gina K. Designs / Thermoweb Foil-Mates Ornamental Holiday patterned background with Gina K. Designs Red Velvet Fancy Foils which matched the red foil cardstock layers. A Spellbinders label die and sentiment from Stampin' Up! Christmas Scottie set finished it off.
I am entering in these challenges:
Of course there is nothing like the real thing. Here is my daughter's Westie, Kit Kat. He spent Christmas Day with us. Always a treat!
