In our house we’re more about cats. But we have many family and friends with dogs… and every once in a while my munchkins do ask me if we can get a dog. So when I saw the Christmas Scottie bundle I had to craft a handmade card for dog lovers. This is a nice, simple card. It’s my first one with this bundle and I wanted the Scottie to be the focus.
To start I chose my colours for my dog and their bow. I love the colours and patterns in the Lights Aglow 6 x 6 Specialty Designer Series Paper and thought it would work great. It also worked really well as the card mat. A nice bit of colour, but the pattern is simple enough not to take away from my furry friend. Plus with Basic Black as the card base and other pieces, the Cherry Cobbler from the DSP really pops.
The phrase comes from the Christmas Scottie stamp set. I stamped it with Cherry Cobbler ink and then used the Layering Circles dies to frame it before I popped it up with some Stampin’ Dimensionals. Then I did the same thing with the Scottie dog I punched out, just using a couple of the larger Layering Circles dies.
To finish it off I added an extra Basic Black bow. Then a few Pearl Basic Jewels to the Lights Aglow card mat. Here it is…
Dogs totally hold a special place in our hearts! And I hope this handmade card for dog lovers shows that.
