Get Along Little Doggie

I know my blog has been sadly neglected the last 4 months.  I finally cleaned my studio and feel the creative juices flowing already!  Today I made a card for my son's upcoming birthday.  I am in shock, to say the least, that I have a card made more than a week in advance!  So, on to the card....

I made this card to fulfill a whole list of challenges.  I used a great stamp from Whimsey Stamps called Get Along Little Doggie.  As always I painted him with acrylics.  My papers are Coordinations from Joanns.  I used a Cuttlebug folder called Spots and Dots to emboss the navy paper.  I added red Stickles to the band on his hat, and light blue Stickles around the edge of the image.  For the banner I simply used a font on my computer to print the letters and cut the triangles free-hand.  A piece of twine from my stash anchored to 2 matte silver brads forms the banner.



I made the banner on the inside the same way.  I stamped the edges of the red paper with a paisly border stamp from Fiskars.  The set is called Just Between Friends.  The paisley on the writing panel is from the same set.  I used a Martha Stewart corner punch for the corners of the blue panel.


On the back I used my custom stamp and the same paisley from the inside.

I will enter this card in the following challenges:

Sparkles - One for the Boys
Digi Tuesday - On the Farm
Cute Card Thursday - CleanSimple
Catered Crop - recipe (I used the colors red, blue and brown; I embossed; and I used twine.)
Cupcake Craft - Sketch
Stamp Something - Dog Days of Summer
Crafty Catz - Embossing

I think thats about it.  Thanks for taking a peek.

Blessings & Hugs
Michelle
