The current theme at Jingle Belles is a photo challenge :
I've used the colours, the snowflakes and that little white Scotty dog as my inspiration, and the fireplace shape reminded me of the X-cut doorway die set.
I first cut the doorway out of the blue card then embossed it with a brickwork ef, then backed it with yellow card. Then I cut the door shapes from white and cream and inlaid them into the space I had cut the doorway from in the blue. The fence panels and dog are cut from the same die set, the sentiment is a Craftwork Cards one and the snowflakes, made of stiffened non-woven fabric, are from my stash.
Oooh that has given me an idea..... somewhere I still have lots of iron on interfacing from my dressmaking days. I wonder what it's like for stamping and/or diecutting? I feel an experiment coming on!

Brilliant card, love the dog. I had the song going through my head from the minute I saw your title too! Showing my age!
If anyone ever nailed a challenge better, I'd like to see it! This is outstanding, Jane!! Happy experimenting! I can't wait to see what you create! Hugs, Darnell
Seriously ... inspiration perfection ... your card is so awesome (and I can't wait to see what you do with that interfacing) ... so very glad you got inspired with us at Jingle Belles.
