For the Men...Man's Best Friend

Welcome back to Lost Coast Portal to Creativity where Lost Coast Designs and Carmen's Veranda collide to bring you twice the inspiration and double the fun!

Stamps: Carmens Veranda - Dogs Are Our Whole Lives Clear Sentiment
Lost Coast Designs - Many Dogs

Hello Friends and welcome!

Today I decided to use one of Lost Coast Designs newest stamps - Many Dogs for today's challenge #88 "For the Men". It's so  dog gone cute (sorry - couldn't resist!).

I started off by stamping the dogs onto a piece of white cardstock which was then colored using a combination of Marabu Art Crayons and water. It creates such a lovely intense watercolor look. Once dry this panel was mounted on a black card base.

To create the sentiment I applied various metallic watercolor paints using a piece of cling wrap, pouncing on the colors until I was satisfied with the look. It appears more orange in the photo but it's actually a shimmery copper color that reacted to the lights. It's so hard to capture that shimmer with a camera.  The sentiment was stamped onto the paper once it had dried and was then edged with Blue Belle VersaFine Clair ink to finish it off.

I cut a half circle from Rinea Foiled Paper and mounted it on the card then affixed the sentiment using foam tape. I added a few sequins to finish it off :)

Hope you like my card and are inspired to join in the fun!
