It's time to remind you about April's CAS Christmas challenge, "Rainbow". I've done a rainbow of spaniels wearing Santa hats.
English Cocker spaniels come in a huge range of colours - 23 different colours or colour mixes in fact!! I've had three different ones - a blue roan, a liver roan, and my present sweet Tessa who is orange roan. So I coloured the dogs on my card in a variety of colours.
And for the rainbow challenge, I did their hats and little gifts in the traditional rainbow of colours. And then added those colours below them to ground them.
A simple sentiment and a black border, a bit of fun foam to add dimension, and the card was done.
Please come and join us with your Christmas card using "rainbow" as the theme - you have until April 24th to link up. There is more inspiration from the Design Team over at CAS Christmas.
I'm also linking up with:
Day of the Month Card Club's challenge "Find a Rainbow Day".

Supplies:
Stamps - Penny Black
Ink - Versafine Clair Nocturne
Paper - white and black cs
Size - 6.25x3.25" mini slimline
Accessories - coloured pencils, fun foam

ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE this card Susan...it reminds me of our sweet Brinkley who was a Cockapoo and had more Cocker in him than Poodle. Your coloring of them all and the rainbow colored hats is fabulous and the sentiment just couldn't be any more perfect for this card!! Hugs. :0)
