As I mentioned in my prior post, I have a large holiday wreath project that I am working on, and I have decided to bring you all along for the creative process and post a series of mini blog posts\/YouTube videos. As each one of these pieces in the series could be used to create a holiday gift tag, ornament, embellishment or card, you can easily adapt any of these for your own needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the 3rd and 4th parts of the wreath,\u00a0I used the other two adorable dogs from the\u00a0MFT Happy Pawlidays stamp set<\/a>\u00a0(one of my all time favorite holiday stamp sets) and Copic colored them using the following colors (featuring my favorite Christmas color combination \u2013 red, white and aqua):
Snoopy-look-alike: N0, N1, N7 and N9
Yellow lab: Y13, Y15, Y26, Y28, E57
Floors: W3 and W5
Hat, stocking, bell, collar and lights: E11, Y17, BG11, BG13, BG15, R35, R37 and R39<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I added a high shine detail with a\u00a0Uniball Signo White Gel Pen<\/a>, a deep black shine for the puppies\u2019 eyes and noses with aSakura Black Glaze Pen<\/a>, and a shimmery sparkle on the stocking and holiday lights with a\u00a0Clear Wink of Stella Pen<\/a>.\u00a0I also stamped out the stocking that the Snoopy-look-alike pup is holding again, colored it, and fussy cut it out to it pop up for a little added interest and dimension. For the yellow lab, I added\u00a0DecoArt Snow Writer<\/a>\u00a0to add texture to the faux fur of the Santa hat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I die cut the images using the 11th largest circle die from the\u00a0Diemond Dies Die-Normous Stack-Ems Circle Nesting Die Set<\/a>. Then to create frames for the pieces, I used beautiful sparkly shimmer red card stock and the 9th and 11th largest circles from the\u00a0Diemond Dies Die-Normous Stack-Ems Circle Nesting Die Set<\/a>\u00a0\u2014 I cut each frame out twice and stacked them to add dimension and sturdiness.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
