Dog Thank You

A couple weeks ago I received a special card request. The question was whether I had a stamp with a dog and girl on it to give to a person's dog care giver. The only other information I had was the care giver had black hair and the dog she took care of was black as well. 

I dug through my High Hopes Stamps stash because I knew Heidi & Mattie would be perfect for this request.

 I coloured my stamp using Copic markers, hand fussy cut it and ran a black marker around the edge to get any white I had missed. I used a white gel pen to add some shine to the dog's nose and popped them up with foam tape. I chose patterned paper from A Dog's Tail paper pad by Echo Park and cut it to fit my design and layers. 

Next I stamped the sentiment and cut it out using a fish tail banner die. I added some Stampin' Up ribbon and a paw charm I had in my stash. Some enamel dots finish off my card.

Furr-Ever

Happy June 1st High Hopes Fans! This month our challenge is Anything Goes (except digital stamps) and guess what!? The design team gets to play along - we will be showcasing previously released stamps from High Hopes - this is gonna be fun!!!

Anyone who knows me, knows that I am an animal lover! I have a young Shitzu mix named Moe who keeps me on my toes but also makes me laugh every day - he truly is the apple of his Mom's eye.  

When I saw the Heidi & Mattie stamp I couldn't help myself! I just to colour this cutie up! 

I started by colouring my stamp with alcohol markers and fussy cutting it with my trusty cuticle scissors. Once it was cut, I went around the outside edge with a black marker to cover any white I may have left behind and added some 3D pop dots to the stamp.

I added some water colour paper run through a cloud embossing folder and a fence die cut behind them. A fun wood heart painted with a light coat of white acrylic paint was the perfect touch. Some Silver Wink of Stella was added to her overall buttons and the dog tag. Some sparkly gumdrops finish off my card.
