Woof Woof!

How cute is this little Scottie dog??!!  I've had this Sizzix Bigz Die for a few years (bought on sale) and then never created with him.  (seems to be a common theme with me??!!)

I was going to put him 'on' a card - but when I took out the die - I realized he was a bit bigger than an A2 size card - so I made him a stand up Scottie dog!  He measures 5 1/2" nose to tail, 5 1/4" ear to foot so he'll fit in a 5x7 envelope or a 6x6.  Maybe he'll need one extra stamp if mailed?!

The eye and nose are little die cuts and I colored them a bit with a white pencil so they would show up.   The collar is also part of the die and I cut it out of black and then patterned paper and glued them together and then on his neck.   I die cut the the holly, layered the berries and leaves and adhered it with a foam dot. The Woof Woof is gold embossed.

I cut him out twice and adhered the front to the back along the tip of the tail and the forehead below the ears.  

Here he is from the back

I scored below the adhesive on the inside piece along the forehead and tail so it would fold back cleanly and he could stand up!  

I added this sentiment inside and will either write on it with a white pen or add a panel of white.

I'm linking my Scottie dog card to:
