Sweater Weather Dachshund Card!

Sweater Weather! 

Today I'm sharing this card I created with our Holiday Hounds stamp set. I wanted this to be a "wintery" card but not a holiday one so I stamped the image of the cute pup in the sweater onto watercolor paper and colored it with Distress Markers in shades of blue and teal. Then I added the "sweater weather" sentiment from Holiday Hounds stamp set.  I cut out the image with some oval dies in my big shot and added some cute buttons. I added it to the card with some snowflake paper that matched the colors of the sweater!  Don't forget to try to STRETCH your stamps by using the holiday images to create winter cards after the holiday!

Here's a question I often wonder - do you color your image first or pick you color combo for your card first? I always color the image first - just whatever colors I'm in the mood for but then it's sometimes hard to find paper to match so I was wondering if you do it the opposite way?
