Good Morning everyone
Today Im honoured to be guest designer over at Critter crazy

where the theme is anything animals/critters goes
I wanted to make a fun birthday card for a friend who has 2 bonkers dogs so dug out these old Katzelkraft dog stamps and my kaliedacolor ombre ink pad and had fun.
approx size 6.5x6.5" I made my white cardblank using spellbinders grand label 1 dies. See below for how i made the background which i then cut to a smaller label to fit the card front and lightly inked all the edges with black soot distress ink and attached the front.
I die cut 2 scalloped spellbinders labels 1 from white card, on the larger one i lightly inked it with black soot distress ink adhered the smaller white one and added to the card front with foam tape. I stamped the dogs with the ombre ink, cut out and added with glue gel.
I die cut the birthday sentiment 4 times from white card and adhered together to give a chipboard feel, the top one i inked black and then adhered in place just under the dogs feet so it looks like they are stood on it.
Just a close up
and the background...
On white card i stamped the 2 Katzelkraft dogs with the Ombre ink, then stamped the bones & ball from tim holtz crazy dog stamp set. I stamped 'happy dog' words from aall&create 'happy dog' stamp set in grey ink along with some text stamps. I then stencilled paw prints with tumbled glass & pistachio oxide inks which you can just make out. Finally i added some ink splats. I enjoy using lots of different brands to make my own unique background and its great fun.

Katzelkraft dog stamps 'solo 30 & solo 31'
Mix of little stamps from tim holtz & aall&create
