Merry Christmas From Leonard!


Want a chance to win some goodies from DRS Designs? Run over to the Caardvarks challenge blog to see all of the different card sketches that will enter you to win the Blog Candy up for grabs.

I played along with the sketch challenge using Leonard, oink, oink! He wants to wish you a "Merry Christmas!" Yes, I know it's a tad early for that, but I couldn't help myself!


When I saw this new Santa Hat stamp by DRS Designs, I knew right away that Leonard would look perfect wearing it! He's cute, isn't he?


I created my own pattern paper for this card using another new stamp from DRS Designs, the Silhouette Holly stamp. I cut the berries away from the holly leaves, a bonus for using unmounted stamps, as it easily let me stamp the berries in red and the leaves in green. I randomly stamped the holly berries in a few of the larger white spaces to fill it in a little more completely.


If you look closely at Leonard's Santa Hat, you can see that I added some white Fun Flock to the furry parts. Nothing like giving your card that authentic feel! *grin*!
