This card is for a friend who has two dachshunds and, I confess, that was my main prompt for purchasing the set!
What did I use?
2017 Holiday Catalogue (sneak Peek)
The Ready for Christmas stamp set from the 2017 Holiday Catalogue (dogs, table, cookies and gifts)
The wine glass is from the Half Full stamp set
Annual Catalogue
The balloons are made with the Birthday Delivery bundle
The banner and words are stamped with the Banners For You set
The banner is cut with the Bunch of Banners coordinating die
I used a Layering Circle die to cut out the main scene
The decorative paper is from the Petal Garden Designer Series Paper Stack
The basic 5 3/4" square card is made with Night of Navy cardstock
How did I do it?
- On a piece of Whisper White cardstock I stamped the table with Crumb Cake ink and the complete dog with Basic Black ink.
- I then used the reflection technique to produce the second dog (used Basic Black ink to stamp the dog onto my Stamp-a-ma-Jig sheet, turned it ink side down onto the cardstock and pressed the ink onto the card).
- I watercoloured this little scene using Peekaboo Peach, Soft Suede, Crumb Cake, Smoky Slate, Pool Party and Night of Navy inks and the teeniest bit of Cherry Cobbler for one of the dog collars.
- I used the out of the box technique to cut out the scene with the circle die, leaving the lower part of the dog's body outside the circle.
- On a scrap piece of Whisper White card I stamped the wine glass with Smoky Slate ink and the plate of biscuits with Basic Black ink, watercoloured them, fussy cut and glued them to the table top.
- The presents were also stamped on a scrap piece of Whisper White with Basic Black ink and coloured before fussy cutting them and gluing them to the card front.
- For the balloons, I used some Night of Navy ink to apply a light watercolour wash to a scrap piece of Whisper White card. When it was dry, I stamped the balloons with Night of Navy ink and then cut them with the coordinating die before adhering them to the card front and hand drawing the strings and bows with a Basic Black Stampin' Write marker.
