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.
