A Dog-gone Good Birthday

July 31, 2021


This was a fun card to put together and is for a special little guy. I first took a piece of Stampin' Up! Sahara Sand cardstock and using the Lawn Fawn brick stencil die, I sponged Stormy Weather Distress ink over it. I used my Silhouette Cameo (and the software) to create and cut the street from SU black cardstock, and then glued a piece of Daffodil Delight behind it. I used the Mama Elephant Slimline Window Dressing Dies to cut out the cardbase and the street (to get the scalloped and stitched ends to match the cardbase). I used the same set of dies to cut out the windows (I cut out the window mullions on the 2 left windows), curtains, wallpaper, and the tiny vellum butterfly.)


The two dogs from Tim Holtz's Dog Talk Stamp Set (these dogs look remarkably like my 2 dogs) was stamped on cold press watercolor paper and colored with Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers (love these things). I die cut them with the matching dies.

Finally, I stamped the truck, the woman, and the sentiment from a very old SU stamp set called Loads of Love onto . I colored the truck with Copic markers (R17, R24, R29, R35) and some Dick Blick alcohol markers in light and dark gray. There is a silver on the bumpers from a Signo Silver Gel Pen. I fussy cut the truck and hand cut the speech bubble.

I assembled everything using primarily Art Glitter Glue and SU foam dots.Challenge is Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Anything Goes. #ssswchallenge.
