The Gem Dog
Having visited each of the design team member's for the Jacksonbelle Blog Hop I was inspired by the many patterned papers most of them used in ONE card. Now its been a while since I have purchased a whole coordinating paper pack so I don't have any on hand, but still I wanted to stretch myself and try the same thing. I found two patterns in the colors for the Flourish's Timeless Tuesday Challenge (use black, yellow and a color of your choice) and used the Jacksonbelle Blog Hop sketch to create this modern (?) card. The dog stamp was a bit more intricate than I anticipated so working it with was a challenge as well. The gems on the dog are colored with pencils and then topped with crystal effects. I also wanted to keep the general card flat enough so that I don't have to pay for extra postage should I decide to mail it out.
Here's the Goods: Yellow and Black Cardstock, DCWV Patterned Paper, Me & My Big Ideas DPS, Inkadinkadoo Gem Stone Dogs Stamp Set, SU Birthday Best, Black Stazon Ink, SU Watercolor Pencils, Crystal Effects, Black Brads
