This first card I used a texture crackle paste from Ranger through the
stencil. I didn't put it on two thick and then I let it air
dry. You can't really tell in this photo but the little crackles in the
paw prints really add some texture to the card. Then I used Vintage
Photo Distress Ink from Tim Holtz to add color. I purposely left some
places lighter than others. Then I die cut the little dogs out of brown
card stock. Finally, I stamped the saying with Black Ranger Archival
Ink. These are strip sentiments and there is a coordinating die as
well. I really like how quick it is to stamp a bunch of sayings and then
die cut them. There are a variety of sentiments for different occasions. I
layered the card on a patterened paper and then another layer of medium brown
before putting it on the dark brown card. The finished side is 5 1/2
X 5 1/2.
The second card I used modeling paste in the stencil. Again, I didn't
use too much and I let it air dry. Then I used Distress Inks in Pickled
Raspberry to color the back ground. I also used Festive Berries along
the edges just to give it some depth. Then I die cut the dogs twice, one
in black and one in pink. There is also a die with larger dog breeds, but
because I am Mom to a Sassy little Shih-Tzu I was drawn to the smaller
breeds. I layered my pink piece on some patterned paper from
JilliBean. I used foam dots to raise the pink puppies on the first
row. Next I took one of the sentiments from the Sentiment strip
and layered that on a piece of paper that I cut to resemble a pennant. I
think any lady young or old would love to get this card.
