Dachshund Santa

I ran a cardmaking workshop a couple of months ago for a group of non-crafty friends and the hostess for the evening has a miniature dachshund.  At the end of the evening, she commented that wouldn't it be great if you could make Christmas cards with a dachshund on.  Well, I took that as a challenge and by chance a week or two later I was in one of my favourite craft shops and there was a Marianne Design dachshund set of dies which just happened to fall in my basket!   I used the dies for my great nephew's birthday card here, but as the set included the dies to dress the dachshund up as Santa, I knew it would be perfect for my friend's Christmas card.
The assembled dachshund is attached to the embossed panel with foam pads to add dimension.  I'm not sure of the make of the embossing folder as there is nothing written on it.  The snowflake is one of the Memory Box ' Twilight Snowflakes' dies. 

I am joining in the following challenges:
