It’s Sunday so that means it is time for a new challenge over at Cupcake Inspiration.  This week we are having a theme challenge with a focus on ‘Holiday’.  And on a side note, aren’t those cupcakes beautiful!

This week we are sponsored by Poppy Stamps, who is offering a generous prize to one random participant!

This week I decided to play with this festive holiday stamp from Art Impressions.  For me there is nothing like children and pets at the holidays!

I stamped out three dogs, two extras and one sentiment from the stamp set onto some card stock.  Then using my prima colored pencils I colored in the image.  Yes, the tree is hand drawn, and frankly I don’t like it, but I love the coloring on the dogs, so I am dealing with it.

See the coloring and especially the shading on the dogs is great!

I can’t wait to see what you do with this generous theme!  Make sure you link up by Saturday Dec 16th (early am EST) for a chance to win the prize offered by this week’s sponsor!
