Man's Best Friend

Good Morning,

I have my next DT project for the new challenge at Fantasy Stampers today and the next theme is

'MAN'S BEST FRIEND'

Here's what I made using an old Magnolia stamp ...

The stamp is called 'Wilma with Rose' and I coloured her with Gathered Twigs distress ink (and a little red Promarker for the rose).

The design papers are mostly LOTV from the 'Country Gent' paper pad and are all layered on kraft card. 

Some brown ribbon, three buttons and a few adhesive pearls to finish off.

Hope you can join us with your own projects - just perfect for Father's Day coming up on the 19th.

Man's Best Friend

Good Morning,

I hope you all had a good weekend - mine was a very busy one, dashing around everywhere. I swear my 'To Do' list gets longer every day. On a positive note, my baby girl did pass her Driving Theory exam on Saturday, another proud mummy moment. Now she can get her practical test booked and passed, then hopefully we can put our 'Taxi' sign away to rest!

It's time for our next challenge over at Cardz 4 Guyz today, and this week Julie has chosen the theme of

'MAN'S BEST FRIEND'

Now, I always think of my little doggies here - although I would argue that they are 'Woman's Best Friend' too. They are both my little shadows and make going out to work all the better, knowing they will be there to welcome me home at the end of the day.

Here's what I made for my DT inspiration ...

This one is a LOTV stamp called 'Man's Best Friend' and the little boy and his dog are sat on a wooden bench. So, after two attempts and some clever masking, I managed to get the look I was after - the two of them sat on top of my stamped letters.

The image is coloured with my Promarkers and the letters are stamped using my Claritystamps 'Letterbox' set.

A bit of ink around the edges, along with some hand piercing (not the best I must say), together with a few layers and four blue adhesive pearls to finish off.

Happy Tuesday,

It's time for our next theme over at Cardz 4 Guyz and this one is a very apt one for me, as those of you that know me, know I lurve my little doggies! So for the next week we would love to see your projects showcasing the theme

'MAN'S BEST FRIEND'

Now, one of my little fur babies has been poorly over the weekend with a bad tummy bug - but after three trips to the vets and some antibiotics I hope she is on the mend. So in between returning to school yesterday and a trip to the vets, here's what I made for my DT inspiration ...

It was quite a quick one using another freebie stamp from my Craft Stamper magazine - I love this little pooch. I stamped him three times in Sepia Ink, then punched out the squares and coloured the images with my Promarkers. I arranged them on three different layers, together with a pc generated sentiment and hey presto. Hope you like it!

Hope we will see you over at the challenge this time.
