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!
