Pawesome New Puppy for JAI #371

Happy Friday and welcome! There is only one month left of Winter to go - and seeing as we've just had our coldest day in over 30 years here in Melbourne that is definitely a good thing :-)

We have a fun new challenge at Just Add Ink this week suggested by Di. And that is to choose two of three suggestions in your crafting this week - either kids, pets or patterned paper. The design team have created some fabulous creations to inspire you so I hope you can take a moment to pop on on over and take a look and welcome two more new Guest Designers too!

A year ago, some lovely friends had to say goodby to their older dog, and recently they have welcomed a new puppy - another little Jack Russell - into their home. He has brought such joy already and it is wonderful to see everyone so happy. I'm sure many would agree that as hard as it is to say goodbye to our faithful pets of all kinds, it is a real joy to welcome new ones to the family. So this week's challenge was perfect timing to welcome little Scotty to the neighbourhood :-)

Maybe here you can see the sparkle of the Wink of Stella that's been added to the little puppy and balloon?

Wee "Scotty" is coloured with Copics whilst the Bella and friends stamp was used to add interest to the DSP background paper.

Card stock: Bermuda Bay, Whisper White, Real Red

Designer Series Paper: Naturally Eclectic DSP

Inks: Momento Tuxedo Black, 

Accessories: Big Shot, Stitched Shapes Framelits, Brights Enamel Shapes, Wink of Stella, Bermuda Bay Ribbon, Mini silver Sequins

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope that you can take a moment to pop on over to Just Add Ink and see all the fabulous inspiration from the design team and I look forward to seeing what you will create with this fun challenge theme too!

Happy stamping until next time,'

So Pawesome

Recently, Sally the Lab went for her final Post Op X-rays after knee surgery -  the same day the Aus Post van arrived with these gorgeous stamps! So I didn't have much time to put this together before heading off to collect her so it is a rather simple card - but still an opportunity to experiment with some Copics!

These last couple of years we have been needing to visit the vet and specialist quite a lot and so I have been on the lookout for new stamps to use for "thank you's" :-)

This adorable one is called Cat And Dog Pawsome from Simon Says Stamps and comes with matching framelits to cut the dog, cat and part of the greeting. So I used some Copics to colour him (or her:-) and then cut her out. The "pawesome" is also die cut from some black glimmer card although it is a little hard to see the sparkle.

And the cute little paw prints at the bottom is a single stamp, part of Dog Sayings from Stampendous - so quick and easy to use as all are photopolymer.

Whilst really clean, some stitched squares add a little interest and  texture and there is some Cherry Cobbler striped twine peeking out from behind the first layer too. And to continue the red colour scheme,  the rhinestone was coloured with a Copic marker for a simple touch of bling :-)

Quick, easy and just ready by the time Sally was to come home - perfect!
