Quirky Christmas Cat


Hello again!  Just a quick post tonight to share my Quirky Christmas cat.  I combined two Doodle Pantry sets into one -- Quirky Cat  (pre-colored image) with one of the hats from Santa Accessories.  The hat was colored with Copic markers; then embellished with white glitter and a small pompom.  

I mounted my image on a tag punch pinwheel made with the small SU! tag punch.  If you are not familiar with this fold, check out the great tutorial posted on  Stamp Monkeys.  The digital papers used are from two different Doodle Pantry paper packs --  Four Season Digi Paper Pack and Bold Summer Digital Paper Pack.  I printed the patterns on both sides of a single sheet of paper to create my matching double-sided DSP.  To finish my design, I added a simple corner punch embellished with a "pearl" snowflake.  Now this little guy is a wrap and ready for my stash!

Thanks so much for stopping by. Sure hope you are able to stop back on the first of October for the new Doodle Pantry release!
