Man's Best Friend

Two weeks has whizzed by again and it's time for a new challenge at Shopping Our Stash, the theme for this fortnight is Man's best friend so create a card featuring an animal one would have as a pet. Now since I have a cat you would think I would pull out one of my many cat stamps but I changed my mind when I found out a friend just adopted a new dog so I just had to make a card to celebrate. 

Well my stash was really put to the test, embossing folder You never been used probably two decades old, I found the Katzelkraft dog image in an envelope that has gifted images and sentiments, not sure how old they are but probably 4 or 5 years of hoarding, the dies I used are long rectangles and the sentiment is computer generated (that caused several hours of stress) Although Riggs is a charcoal lab I had already used the lab image so just pretend he has floppy ears. I coloured and fussy cut and popped up on a  smooshed watercolour panel. 

A different angle to show how the image and the panel are elevated.

Finished the inside with a computer generated sentiment.

Thanks for stopping by today and we are looking forward to see your Man's Best Friend card in our gallery. 

Let’s see some Animals!!!

The challenge at Clear it Out Tuesday is Animals the stash item you must use on your project is Striped papers easy peasy right?  The sponsor for the challenge is Doodle Pantry, they have awesome images and the one I picked is Kitten Trio,

I sized the image fairly large as I wanted it to take up a large part of the front. This set has a lot of different images and sayings it is sure worth the trip to the store to look at their images, they are cute and reasonable and you can even get a freebie when you purchase.

Closer look at the kitten’s face.

Just like our children our pets become part of our household and I thought this was perfect to give to a friend that has adopted a cat/kitten. 
Thanks for stopping by today and let’s what animal is your favourite, don’t forget to use striped papers.
