Dog Talk!
Who says Christmas designer paper has to be used just for Christmas? I designed this cute birthday card around the Season of Style Designer Series Paper. Choose either the Paper Stack – 48 sheets, 24 each of 2 double-sided designs, 4-1/2"x6-1/2" OR the traditional 12"x12" Designer Series Paper, including 12 sheets, 2 each of 6 double-sided designs.
- I love the Animal Talk stamp set – 4 different images and coordinating sentiments makes this a really versatile set.
- Was it too much of a stretch? I used the Crumb Cake and White polka dot paper from the Season of Style pack to replicate the cute little dog – stamped on Crumb Cake cardstock and spots colored in with White Gel Pen.
- Actually, the main image got a little boost by stamping with VersaMark ink, pouring on some Early Espresso Embossing Powder and heat setting with the Heat Tool. That made a nice little "home" for the white gel pen to be applied.
- The lower line of text was simply stamped with Early Espresso Ink.
- I found the Island Indigo and White plaid paper in the Soho Subway Designer Series Paper pack. Just right for this card!
- All that was left was to give this card a little accent with White Baker's Twine.
- For those of you looking for masculine card ideas, this would be perfect!
