Double D Challenge: Christmas Animals

 


Hi all!  I'm finally back with my Double D teamies just in time for Diane's fun Christmas Animals Challenge.  Check out the cute inspiration board:



My Fox & Bird is a Cottage Cutz die from one of their not-to-be-denied sales.  I've got a sizeable pile of CC dies still waiting for their first time use.  They have their own bin now, sheesh.



Additional dies, both CC and other, came together for Christmas in the woodlands.  At the time of this make I was still trying to get my card making legs under me, a bit shaky after a lengthy hiatus. Lots of ink was rubbed on for coloring.  Copics for the smallest parts.  The Fox & Bird look like Christmas animals to me, but I'm sure they'd be cute on a birthday card, too.



Have a look below at the prize a random player could win.  Just happens to be a Cottage Cutz critter.



The team will vote for creative favorites.  Maybe yours?  Let's find out.  Come see all the super cute team samples on the Double D blog and then share your own creation.  I can't wait to see!

Have a happy day!

  2. Adorably cute winter scene and this is one of my favorite cottage cutz dies, who wouldn't love a fox with a scarf and a birdie along for the ride! Just the cutest!! I did hit the CC black Friday sale and have a ton of new ones to use, just couldn't resist those 85% off prices, sigh!!

  9. Such a cute card. Your Christmas animals are adorable, and I love the background d/p that you used. I'm helping a couple first-time card makers to make a couple Christmas cards this Saturday. Really looking forward to it. I don't usually have anyone to stamp with.

  20. I love your cute critter card…they speak Christmas to me…you do amazing scenes with these dies, Leslie!! It’s probably your love for animals that makes them come alive with personality. I’m so glad you have Sophie now and am kind of curious how you’re able to get anything accomplished. I recall puppyhood as being a little like toddlerhood. Lots of chasing and corralling going on. Wishing you the best Christmas season enjoying all of your blessings.
