Chinchilla Christmas

Merry Christmas!

Our vet asked me to create a Christmas card featuring a chinchilla.
I found a digital image online and used the print and cut function in my Silhouette Cameo to print and cut this chinchilla. Then I stamped the hat from Lawn Fawn with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used the coordinating die to cut it out. Next I used Copic markers to color them.

I colored the background with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink and stamped the leaves from Uniko with Emerald Altenew ink.

Finally I stamped the sentiment, also from Uniko, with Emeral Altenew ink and adhered the chinchilla with foam tape to create some dimension.

Then I used a circle die from Penny Black, adhered this on the inside of the frame and added the pet with foam tape to create some dimension.

I used another piece of cardstock from the same paper pad from Karin Joan and added this to the card base.
I glued the window frame to the card and stamped the sentiment from CZ Design with Versamark and heat set this with gold embossing powder.
