This week’s Pals Paper Arts Challenge is a sketch by the lovely and talented Kerry Willard Bray.
I had been looking at the Hot Diggity Dog stamp set and just fell in love with the face I used on today’s card. I’m not sure which specific dog breed it’s supposed to represent, if any. Pug, maybe? I just think it’s cute. So when I saw this week’s sketch, I immediately knew I wanted to put this little face in the center of the circle.
The colors in the Sweet Li’l Things DSP seemed perfect for this card. This little pooch is a sweet little thing, right?
The sentiment is from the same stamp set. It’s actually one stamp, but I used my Tip Top Taupe Stampin’ Write Marker to ink one line at a time so I could stamp them separately. Here’s how to do that:
1) Color the part of the stamp that you want with the marker.
2) Stamp the image. (The ink can dry quickly, so you may want to “huff” on it first – blow warm, moist breath on it to reactivate the ink.)
3) Clean the stamp. Stamp off on clean scrap paper to make sure it is dry and leaves no mark.
4) Color the other part of the stamp and repeat.
Be sure to check out all the other challenge entries at the PPA web site.
Here’s what I used:
Thanks for stopping by today, and Sweet Stamping!
