Digi Doodle Shops Best. #27

This week over on Digi Doodle Shops Best, our theme is '3D It!', so we'd like to see some dimension to your work.
Here's my DT card.
For my card this week I used the digi stamp 'Stocking Puppy' which you can buy and download HERE, and coloured it with ProMarkers.I printed and coloured the image twice, then cut out the dogs head, leg and the holly and layered then up to give me the dimension. I added flower soft to the fur round the top of the stocking. the Holly leaves on the corners were cut with a punch.The sentiment is also from Digi Doodle Shop which I cut out with a Stamping Up punch. The sentiment is FREE, brilliant or what?

I used the digi stamp 'Devil Rider Billy', which you can buy and download HERE, and he's coloured with the usual ProMarkers. I don't have any Halloween paper so I made my own background with Distress Inks in shades of green, then stamped over with the bat stamp in black.
The ribbon is purple though it looks blue in the pic!....
