I have two birthdays in May for young kids, both of whom are dog fans. Two challenges are looking for animal related (or specifically dogs): Time Out with a great inspiration photo (see below,) and The Paper Players: Animal Antics. I have two new sets of stamps from My Favorite Things that I picked up during one of their sales. This is the first card with one of the stamp sets. I'll be back in a day or two with a second card with a more feminine touch.
I stamped the images from the My Favorite Things Hot Dog stamp set and then die cut them with my Scan N Cut. I had a lot of fun coloring them in shades of brown with Copic markers. The three circles were die cut with Simon Says Stitched Circles-two white and one dark brown. Before adding them to the card, I embossed the front of the card with a Stampin' Up embossing folder. I purchased it from eBay and I don't have the name of it anymore.
Next, I arranged the pups on the card. The sentiment is from the same stamp set and was white embossed on strip of the same dark brown cardstock. I added three enamel dots to finish it off. This card is also going to NBUS since this is the dogs' debut!
