Birthday Dog

Today's card features another old favourite stamp by Penny Black...'Birthday Dog'. I stamped him on to a snippet of watercolour paper, coloured him using watercolour pencils, then carefully cut him out. I made the rainbow background, by attaching snippets of brightly coloured card to a scrap of paper, then trimming them into a rectangle, before embossing them using a 'Bone & Paw Prints' embossing folder by Crafts Too. I added the embossed panel to a white card blank, stamped simple sentiment using one of the stamps from the 'Anytime Messages' set by Hero Arts, before adding the pup on top using 3D foam pads.

  1. A lovely technique for using your small colourful snippets up.
    The dog is so well coloured too.

  5. Awww...your party pup looks like he's trying hard to resist blowing out the candles and sampling a big slice of yummy cake. A delightful masculine card; thrilled you shared it at AAA Birthday.
