Dies to Die For - Xmas Hamster

Well Hello Everyone

I hope you all had a lovely weekend.  Christmas is definitely on its way - our street has been transformed pretty much overnight with everyone getting their outside Christmas lights out - its so pretty.


Today I would like to share with you a card I have made using the ever so sweet Xmas Hamster from Whimsy "Wee Stamps" - I just love him.

Here is the full card:


Ain't he just adorable - I just love his little expression.

All the products listed can be found at Dies to Die For and the recipe for the card is:

Stamp:  Whimsy "Wee Stamps" - Xmas Hamster
Papers:  Kaisercraft - Turtle Dove
Fishtail Die:  Die-Namcis - Fishtail Flags Stax
Ticket Die:  Whimsy - Ticket Die
Ticket Stamp:  Whimsy - Friendship Ticket Sentiments

The image has been coloured with Copics and I have used a Cool Grey 70% Prismacolour pencil to shade the bauble:

Face:  E51 E50 E000 / R20 R30 (cheeks)
Fur:  E37 E35 E34 E31
Coat:  E29 E27 E24
Bauble:  YG99 YG97 YG95 YG93 UG91 / C3 C2 C1

I have outlined the image with Iced Spruce Distress Ink
All the papers have been edged with Walnut Stain Distress Ink

And that's it.

Enjoy the rest of your week everyone and thank you all for your lovely comments.
