Best Wishes - Doggy Card

Hey Card Makers, 

Thank you for visiting my blog today. Hope your enjoying the weekend wherever you may be. I have a very simple card to share with you today, it's more of a cheer up kind of card. I used Lawn Fawn Critters in the dog Park Stamp Set and colored them in using Promarkers.

I got some blue card stock and using a scrap of backing paper from Riverbank Revels  I cut some  into a thin strip using my Tonic Studio's Small Guillotine. I stuck it to the bottom of the card stock using a tape runner.

I cut out my images and stuck them down using foam adhesive squares. I put the dog and the ball together to make it look like he was paying with it. I thought it looked rather bear so I stuck a little bug in the corner. 
I got the sentiment from a pack I bought when I first started making cards and used Distress Ink left over on the sponge I think it was Crushed Olive but I cant be certain.

I found that the card still seemed too bare so I cut out a butterfly using my Big Shot Die Cutting Machine. My boyfriend got it for my birthday last year and I love it. I haven't got many things for it but I love using The Embossing Folders.

Anyway I got the Teal Sizzix Big Shot and it came with some Big Dies and there's one with a big butterfly. I ran that through my Big Shot and got out a silver gel pen and added a few details to the butterfly. Before sticking it down to the card  I drew antennae  straight on the card.

I placed glue on the body of the butterfly and stuck it down. I did not want the wings to be stuck down as you can pull them back from the card and it looks as if the butterfly just landed on the card.

I put the sentiment next to the butterfly. I used a silver gel pen and a rular to drew straight lines on the edge of the card. I think it turned out well.

Tell me what you think of my card by leaving a comment below.
