Pile It On! Challenge - Lots of Layers and/or Use Your Scraps

I  have some more inspiration for this month's Pile It On! Challenge, where the themes are:

'Lots of Layers'
and/or
'Use Your Scraps'

Our sponsor for this challenge is Angie's Digital Stamps:
Prize - 2 Images of the Winner's Choice!

I combined the two themes, and used lots of scraps of papers from the 'Blue Floral' pad by My Mind's Eye (I'm on to my second pad of these papers, and have lots of scraps!) to make a birthday card for my brother. I paired them with a Tim Holtz 'Crazy Dog'...colouring him using watercolour pencils, the using the corresponding Sizzix die to cut him out. I distressed all of the edges, then added some faux stitching using my CutterBee Bug and a black gel pen. The sentiment stamp is from a set by Lili of the Valley.


I used more scraps of the papers and another of the 'Crazy Dogs' to make a matching gift tag.


The tag is actually quite large...I wanted to make a pocket on the back for a gift card:


And here it is on his gift:


Here are the challenges I've piled on:


For more inspiration from my lovely DT buddies, please pop over to the Pile It On! Challenge.

    I love your selection of papers and fun pups! Great design on both your card and tag. The stitching gives everything such a lovely 'finished' feel. Thanks so much for sharing these with us at Penny's. Wishing you a blessed Easter.
