Isn't Charlie adorable?! He's one of the new Whiff of Joy stamps I received in the mail this week. I don't have very many boy stamps and as soon as I saw Charlie, I knew he was perfect to fill the void. He's adorable and mischievous just like my son!! I could definitely see my son with snowballs and the same expression on his face. lol
I used Katharina's sketch when creating my card. I stamped Charlie and cut him out using a nestability die. Then, I chose my patterned paper and colored my image in coordinating colors. I cut all my layers and stitched the pieces. I poked holes and stitched around my sentiment by hand. Then, I assembled all the layers.
For some reason, I had a terrible time getting a good photo of this card (When I lightened the photos, it distorted the colors so the photos are a little dark in order for the colors to be accurate and you can't see any of the shading.), but I had to share one more photo of Charlie. Can't you just see a little boy doing that? Season's Greetings, splat!

OH HE IS CUTE!!! ENABLER! LOL! Now I NEED to get one because I don't have many boy stamps...and have one soon to be 10 year old, mischevious, boy...lol. I see him throwing snowballs at me until I can't even breathe! Just like how he attacks me in the pool by splashing me until I'm gasping for air...lol!

Cute card, Niki. Now, how do you make holes and stitch by hand? They look like they were done with the sewing machine.
