SC195 WT188 Christmas Puppy

 
Like I was mentioning before, I've been busy lately and it has been tough for me to keep up with these challenges at SCS. But I have been doing them, just really late at night, sometimes to wee hours of the morning. They are addicting. Anyways, I combined 2 challenges in this card. The sketch for this challenge is SC195 at www.splitcoaststampers.com and the other one is Ways To Use It for plaids. I couldn't wait to use this stamp by Inkadinkado. When I saw it, I just had to have it. I made this for a particular friend of mine. She loves her puppy. She's always sharing some silly stories about her puppy too. I couldn't help myself, but I had to use the plaid even though I thought of a Scotty dog the whole time I was putting this card together. I used the CB Houndstooth folder on the green and plaids and mounted them. I had these square brads in my stash and thought they would go great here. It's one of them things that I had to have. Don't we all have to have something that we hardly ever use? I stamped the dog with black ink, then shaded him using a soft gray Prismacolor pencil for areas like the chin, below the ears, and legs. I didn't blend them this time with the Goo Gone because I didn't think it really needed it. I used the versamark pen, clear embossing powder, and the heat gun to the color, antlers, and hat. It was a little hard for me to not have to color the dog or use embossing powder. I'm not used to just doing half of something, but I like how it turned out. I added gold pearls to the collar with mini glue dots. I also used the corner punch and added a brad. The image and the corner punch are held on with dimensions to give it a 3D effect. I really hope my friend likes it, because I had fun making it for her. Thanks for dropping by! Have a wonderful night!
