Cardz 4 Galz #210 - Dogs and Puppies

Image
Hi Friends,  Welcome to another Cardz 4 Galz challenge Design Team entry.   Today the challenge theme is Dogs and Puppies. I had fun creating this card.  I hope you like it, and as always - don't forget to pop over to Cardz 4 Galz and share your entry with us, as we love seeing them. I started by stencilling the background.  I used Salvaged Patina for the main dots,  Peacock Feathers for the Lined dots and Twisted Citron for the dotty dots. I coloured the dogs in different ways, however, I did stick to the same pallet to give the card some overall cohesiveness, How cute are those googly eyes??? Seriously?? I cut out the sentiment, then blended a slightly larger piece of card with twisted citron distress oxide.  I will definitely be using this method again with various colours. Supplies Used: Distress Ink and Oxide Tim Holtz and Ranger Ink Twisted Citron Salvaged Patina Peacock Feathers Stamp Crafty Individuals Alcohol Markers Spectrum Noir - Tri-blend Stencil I am not who it was

Paper Funday Challenge #58 - All Dressed Up

Hi Friends,  I hope you are well today. Over at  Paper Funday,   it is challenge Day, and today's challenge is "Anything Goes" but there is an Optional Twist of " Use Yellow, Orange, Green".  I would like to say thank you to o ur wonderful Sponsors, who are  All Dressed Up   a nd  Colour of Love . I will be using an image from All Dressed Up called Busy Shopping How cute is this image? It pairs up nicely with an old stamp set that I have in my stash.   When I saw this image I had a lash of inspiration, I wanted a French theme.  I mean which girl would not love to be shopping in Paris. I decoupaged the lady, who I think looks very much like an Emily, and the shopping bags, hat boxes and dog to give it some dimension.  Doesn't Emily look better with some added dimension to her? I stamped some script and roses in a platinum colour, and over stamped them with a Parisian postage stamp As this was not going to be a card, but a page in my journal, I decided to us
