Good Morning everyone.
Today im sharing a mixed media picture. Years ago i did a cat picture and had in mind to do something with the crazy dogs - i finally got around to it.
As you can see someone let all the dogs out and they have escaped to play in the woods among all the undergrowth and foliage.
Size approx: 6x12"
So i first made a background base layer with brusho's in lime & lemon. Once dried i stencilled on paw prints with silver paint and flowers with a gold pearl texture paste.
I stamped and coloured in my crazy dogs with inktense pencils and fussy cut them out. I went with crazy colours.
Then using all those little pieces of card left from backgrounds over the years i die cut lots of different foliage, i then got arranging my greenery and dogs - which took some time getting a placement that worked for me.
I computer printed my title with a typewriter font, cut on a wonk and matted onto black, I used dies for the word 'dogs', i then covered them all in glossy accents to give an enamelled look.
Close up, the dogs all have glossy accents on their noses and eyes
And lastly the answer as to who let the dogs out....this guy reminds me of mutley....he is sitting on the sideline chuckling at the chaos he's caused😁
Now Mutley is showing my age for those of you who don't know he was/is the side kick of dick dastardly of whacky races
Items Used:
Tim Holtz crazy dogs mini stamps
Tattered lace fern die set
Various leaf die sets
Alpha tile die set
Inktense pencils
Brushos, Oxide & wink of stella for all the foliage
I hope my little piece of wall art has made you smile this Monday morning and that you all have a good week. Im having to rest my hands from wire working so i expect i shall be papercrafting this week. Stay safe. Hugs Emmaxx

Fabulous piece of art Emma, love the expressions on their faces, so much gorgeous detail you've packed into the scene ... yes I do remember Mutley! Steph x
I really wish my two Dobeys were this bright and colourful :)
A couple of them look a little bit annoyed though ... has Mutley interrupted their weekend lie-in?!
