You Make My Tail Wag

Hello!

I'm still...getting myself organized from our weekend in Ohio.   My copic classes went really well and I met some really creative people.  I'm looking forward to talking with them more.   I've spent the last few days filling orders from the weekend.  I still have a few more DVDs to get in the mail, but I'm mostly caught up.  I'm looking forward to coloring up some of the new stamps I purchased on Saturday!!!

Today's card is one we made in the Pet themed Card Lover's class this month.  I love the cute little dog.  It is made my a company that closed its doors a few years ago called "There She Goes".  I miss them a lot...they used to make the cutest images.

The background is created with a stencil I made at home.

Copics used:
Dark Brown: E30, E31, E33, E35
Light Brown: E50, E51, E53
Nose: N5, N3, N1
Red: R24, R29
Grass: G46, G43, G40
I put some glitter on the stars- it doesn't show up very well in the photos.

Hang in There...

Hello all,

Did you ever see the poster of the cat hanging from a rope, its legs dangling, a petrified look on its face and the text reads "Hang in there"?  I had one hanging in my classroom when I was teaching.   I saw a card made my another artist on Pinterest.   Her card made me think of this poster and I instantly wanted to make one.  

I try not to copy cards exactly when I see them.  My goal is to change three things on the card to make it my own.   On this card,  I changed the sentiment,  the coloring medium,  added fish to the background, and paper/twine.  I used kite string for the twine, because I didn't want to buy some weird shade of blue green twine that I probably never used again.   All the paper is from Stampin Up.  Hopefully the original artist would be flattered that I was inspired by her card.

Here is the stamp set I used to create this card-

Knead You

Knead You Dies

Colors:
Cat: YR21, YR23, YR24, YR27, E15
Cheeks: R20

You'll Always Be Pawesome

Hello friends,

I bought this new die that says "pawesome".   It is so cute and pairs so nicely with so many animal stamps.  I thought it would get a lot of use.  However, I found that it is hard to find a sentiment that works with it.  I poured over all my stamps and I finally found "You'll always be..."  I'm going to brainstorm some other ideas for sentiments, but for now I think this works well.   What do you think?

No copics
Just a little glitter on the heart
