Fruitcake Charlie!!

Haaaahahahhaaaaaaa!! I just liked that title!! I had a boyfriend named Charlie when I was a teenager and I have LOTS of names to call him, but 'Fruitcake' is one of the few I can actually post on my blog!!! HAAAAAHHHAAAAA!!!

I'm excited to show you this card because I really love the way it turned out!!

I got to play with another of my Whiff of Joy stamps the other night and I decided to use Charlie and his Dog!! I'm going to call the dog, Chester!! haha!! I hope Katharina doesn't mind! There's nothing quite like a boy and his dog!

Anyway, I stamped the image on SU watercolour paper and pulled out my Fruitcake holiday papers by Basic Grey. I used Versafine ink in Black Onyx which is my all-time favourite ink for when I am using water-based inks or markers. I used my SU markers to colour them in and the layout is from the Papertake Weekly sketch for this week. I sponged the edges of all the papers using Tea Dye distress ink by Ranger and a cosmetic sponge. Then I stamped a snowflake from Baby It's Cold Outside several times in the top right corner of the main image. The sentiment is from Friends Furever. Lastly I added some brads, a couple of layers of ribbon and a fire hydrant charm by Around the Block!



Today is my only day off until next weekend, so I hope to be stampin' away in my craft room (while catching up on laundry and stuff in between). Right now the house is quiet and everyone else is sleeping, so I'm going to get started!!! Hope you have a wonderful day!!
