Year of the Dog

The Chinese New Year has started and this time it is the Year of the Dog.

As I do not have many people to send cards to, I decided to make a

birthday card for dog lovers and I enter my card for the challenge on the

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog.

And Simon says:

Add a die.

See all the samples HERE.

For my card I used a FREE dog image, that you can find on the

blog of Michael Strong HERE. For the background I 

used several washi tapes on a scrap piece of paper 

and cut it out with a circle die. Then I used the matching

scallop die for the black circle. Before adding the circle

to the card I adde the pendant washi tape to the card 

and matched up the circle.

When the circle was on the card I stamped the dog bones,

the food bowl and sentiment (all by Tim Holtz).

The dog and the bowl are colored with pencil

and the bones are colored with a white gel pen.

Thank you so much for looking

and have a creative New Year!
