I have another dog card for you today. This time I used a little stamp from Rosie's Roadshow called Bentley. Rosie's Roadshow stamps are all small and they have a quirky sense of humor that I really like! This is one of my favorite because it looks just like our dog, Bella. It's a good stamp to build scenes around. The tree is from a Stampin' Up set called Festival of Trees. I used Ranger Distress inks to stamp the trees. The colors are Pine Needles and Peeled Paint. The frame was made using a Die-namics die from My Favorite Things called Stitched Rectangle Scallop Frames.
I took some typing paper and cut 3 pieces with different wavy lines. I used them as masks to make the snowy hills and I used a Clarity brush to apply the Night of Navy ink. I am so in love with these brushes and the smooth soft look you get with them!! Once I got the hills done, I used the same masks and stamped the trees. The card seemed too flat so I stamped some more trees and added them with foam tape.
On the inside I used a stamp from the Stampin' Up set called Floral Phrases, a Die-namics die called Stitched Mini Scallop Rectangle STAX to echo the scalloped frame on the front and little Bentley again!
Here is a picture of our Bella...isn't that stamp perfect for her?
Thanks so much for stopping by! Keep stamping :)

I made this card as a Christmas "thank you"! I wanted to keep it simple and the little Rosie's Roadshow Holiday House was just right. I framed the image with SU Buckaroo Blue and floated it on a piece of acetate to give an icier look. The window with frame was made with a die from MFT. I can't find it on their website to link it right now, but I'm sure it is an MFT product because I purchased it at their boutique in Eustis. I used a sponge and SU Buckaroo Blue to darken the edge of the frame and then added Clear Stickles to make it snowy.
The tricky thing about acetate is you have to think about covering the back of the image you attach in the window. It looks bad inside the card if the adhesive shows. I made another square a little bigger and embellished it with a snowflake, so it covers the ugliness and adds a dark green frame behind the picture on the front. Here's what the inside looks like...
Thanks for stopping by :)
