There is a new challenge up over at 52 Christmas Card Throwdown.  Since it is the first week of the month, that means that the new challenge is a sketch challenge, and this sketch is especially fun.

I decided to play with a little holiday humor for this week’s card, so I pulled out this super sweet puppy from Newton’s Nook and stamped him out onto some white cardstock.  I quickly colored him in with my copics markers and then die cut the cardstock with a Craftin Desert Divas die.

I trimmed up some black card stock and added the circle, cutting of the edge that hung off.  Then I die cut a star and filled it in with some red stickles, adding a few drops here and there and a touch of glitter to the pup’s head band.

Finally, I heat embossed some white embossing powder over a Art Impressions sentiment that I thought worked perfectly with the puppy.

I can’t wait to see how you play with this week’s sketch challenge.  Are you going to be serious or humorous?  Till then, happy crafting!
