Some Days You’re the Dog…–CTD #332

CTD332_2015mar4

Howdy, Color Throwdown fans! Lori’s our host this week and she’s got a preppy color combo for us, based on her insanely cute inspiration piece!

I’m using the just released BB You Make My Tail Wag Stamp Set and BB You Make My Tail Wag Die-namics for my card today. This scene just cracks me up. I started with a Kraft card stock base, then on a piece of Ranger watercolor paper, and using a medium water brush, I water colored through Diagonal Stripes Stencil with these inks: Berrylicious dye ink, Cherry Crisp dye ink, Kraft dye ink, and Blueberry dye ink. I tied some hemp cord around and popped that up on foam mounting tape, then added an Inside & Out Stitched Rounded Square STAX Die-namics, cut from Sweet Tooth card stock and stamped with the new Paw Print Background and Grout Gray dye ink. Next I cut the two die cuts from Neenah Classic Crest Cover, Solar White Smooth, 110lb paper with BB You Make My Tail Wag Die-namics, stamped them with the coordinating images from BB You Make My Tail Wag Stamp Set, with Black Licorice hybrid ink, colored them with Copic markers, and popped them up on foam. On a strip of Berrylicious card stock, and using Black Licorice hybrid ink, I stamped the dog bone over and over to cover, then adhered it. The sentiment was stamped on After Midnight card stock with Sweet Tooth pigment ink and heat embossed with clear detail embossing powder, also popped up on foam.

Another sentiment from the set was stamped on the inside.
