I won this Fabulous stamp from Katharina and never had a chance to use it till now. I think this fella and his furry friend are just the Cutest!! Thank you so much Katharina!! Just in case ya'll don't know...(which I really doubt)...Katharina has her own website called Whiff of Joy Stamps where she offers a large selection of Gorgeous stamps.
The image is colored with prismacolor pencils (oms) and twinkling h20's
The snowflake is from a Spellbinders die...I borrowed from my daughter.
The snow is Martha Stewart product.
Ink - versafine black, creamy caramel, bordering blue
Paper - GP white, dcwv, s.e.i, basic grey
Accessories - brad, spellbinders snowflakes, cord, scribbles and tacky glue for snow and fur, glitters, stitching
It's my Hubby's birthday today.....He is an "Old Man"....at least he says he is..lol....ask him how old he is...he's always a year ahead...Haa ha!! Two things I know for sure though is that ....He's a real Sweetie and a definite Keeper!! Today he is 54....and if all goes well....next year at this time he will be retiring. Hmmm I wonder how old he'll feel then...Lol.
Now I am going to crank up the radio and do some Baking....."tis the season"...lol.
