This is my second entry into Power Poppy’s challenges named “Gold, Silver, and Shimmer.” I decided to make another card using artist Marcella Hawley’s sweet Christmas Corgi’s digi set. Earlier this year I made a card using this cute Corgi for the Queen's jubilee since it is her favorite dog breed. I’d paper-pieced a quilted background for that card, and decided to duplicate it for this card… except I added additional bling to add more shimmer! This time I adhered the elegant quilt to shiny gold cardstock. A glittery Santa hat and Holly sprigs add holiday sparkle to the front and inside of the card. So fun!   

I’m entering this card into several other challenges including Beccy’s Place Annual Month of Holiday Cards Challenge (this card fits into the “C is for… Corgi” and the wonderful front sentiment is from a Beccy’s Place set.)  

Supplies: 

·   Digi- Power Poppy Digi Set (Christmas Corgi) Also available in clear cling set

·   Colored with Spectrum Noir Classique markers and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen

·   Front Sentiment- “Ready or Not…” from Beccy’s Place Digital set (Here Comes Christmas)

·   Inside Sentiment- Power Poppy Digi Set (Christmas Corgi)

·   Sparkly Stickers- Hobby Lobby

·   Paper scraps, ribbon, gold/silver trims, cardstock and other items from my stash.

 The challenge at wecraftcards this week is a Photo Inspiration. Elaine, the challenge host notes, “I was recently pet-sitting and saw this sign over the bed. I thought it went well with the Thankful and Grateful theme. Use any of the sign's words in your card or if you would prefer something different, feature a cat (or even a gray headboard!)” Did I forget to mention that Elaine is both talented AND has a wonderful sense of humor? Well… she does!

I looked through my digis and found two sentiments that are a perfect fit! An autumn-themed napkin, plus stamped and fussy-cut leaves, complete the lovely card.
