Cutest Puppies for JAI #782

Happy Friday everyone and welcome to the last Friday in March. In a week's time it will be the end of Daylight Savings here in Australia. For some it means another Summer done and dusted. For many of us crafters, it means a little less daylight to take photos of our projects and some adjustments for blog post and Social Media timings. 

At Just Add Ink this fortnight, the lovely Lou Kitzelman has given us this challenge. It's to Choose Two or More from: Twine, Ribbon, Sequins, Buttons, Brads or Rhinestones. So there is a lot of choice amongst all the embellishments many of us have in our crafting stash. The ladies in our design team have all created some fabulous projects to inspire you. So I hope that you can pop on over to the JAI blog and hopefully join us.

For my card, I chose Twine, Sequins and what the heck, I added some Rhinetones over the flower centres as well!!

The fabulous Cutest Crew stamp bundle is already a favourite for me and I have plans to use it for a future, special card making workshop I've been asked to run for an organisation close to my heart. More on that later...

But getting back to this card, the middle dog is the focus and so is popped up on dimensionals for added emphasis for the recipient as that's the dog special to them.  Normally, I would've popped the DSP up on dimensionals too but I knew this card was going to be posted overseas so I wanted to keep it a little flatter. 

When posting a card that has rhinestones and sequins etc on it,  it is a good idea to add a piece of loose card stock in the envelope over these as they can pierce an envelope when the weight of other mail is added onto them or through the postal system's machinery.

Thanks for stopping by today! I hope that you can pop on over to Just Add Ink and be inspired by the rest of the design team and other challenge entrants to join us. I look forward to seeing what you create for this challenge.
