BG49, L15, SSS: Christmas Card

Hi.  Today's card was inspired by three challenges.
The design/sketch is by Heather at Basic Grey Challenge #49 (Jovial).
The theme was inspired by the
And one technique was inspired by Lawnscaping #15:  Distressing.

All three of the challenges are sponsored by the incredible online store, Simon Says Stamp!

I colored the dog, added Glossy Accents to the nose and tag,
flocked the muzzle and topped him off with a festive Santa Hat!

The edges of paper were distressed with the edge distressing tool by TH.
There's some inked edges as well.

The banner was stamped on cream cs and I inked it with Vintage Photo.

If you click on the photo, it will give a clearer image.

Supplies:
Papers: Basic Grey "Jovial"
Stamps: Lawn Fawn's "Critters in the Burbs", "Bannerific" and "Harold's ABCs"
Inks: Distress Vintage Photo, Memento Black
Other: Glossy Accents, MS flocking powder, Prismacolor pencils, hat by Recollections, Stickles, Tim Holtz edge distressor
