MERRY CHRISTMAS, MAY YOU DAYS BE FURRY & BRIGHT! (1)

For this Christmas card I used the newest of Lawn Fawn sets: Little Snow Globe: Dog. I also used some other sets from Lawn Fawn: Furry & Bright, Joy to All and Little Snow Globe: Bear. I made a Reveal Wheel card, which had been a while.

For the base of the reveal wheel, I used Knit Picky pattern paper. I also added some Speckled Eggshell to the bottom, to function as the floor.

I stamped all the images, also on the wheel, and colored eveything with Copic Markers. Here are the colors I used:

I die cut all the images. I assembled everything for the reveal wheel. I adhered the panel onto a piece of Chili Pepper cardstock and that onto a card base our of Noble Fir. The little arrow, to show you where to spin, is also from Noble Fir.

I used a white gel pen to add highlights and I stamped the sentiment in Lobster + Noble Fir inks,
