A Ruff Time

Hi Bloggers.

Well, you seemed to enjoy the card I posted a couple of weeks ago with Pickles the Cat so today's card which has not appeared on the blog before features Toby the Dog.

For the background, I ran a piece of Coconut White Card through the Grand Calibur with the Creative Expressions Knotted Trellis Embossing Folder. I inked around the edges with Pumice Stone Distress Ink and then rubbed Pearl Moon Gilding Wax over the surface. I left it a few minutes to dry and then buffed it up using a dry wet wipe.

I swiped some Pumice Stone Distress Ink onto my Craft Sheet, spritzed with water and then added some Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent Mica Powder. I picked the colour up onto some Blue White American Seam Binding and dried with a Heat Tool. I then stamped the Creative Expressions Pawprint Lattice A6 Background onto it using Jet Black Archival. I split the ribbon into 2 pieces and wrapped it around the background.

I stamped Toby using Cosmic Shimmer Flake & Glitter Glue and added Gunmetal Cosmic Shimmer Polished Silk Glitter. I cut Toby out using Sue Wilson's Auvergne Die Set and inked through the die with Pumice Stone. I cut the Couture Creations Splendour Die out of Dark Grey Card and rubbed Pewter Gilding Wax over the surface, buffing up once dry.

I stamped the sentiment from the Creative Expressions Pawprints on Your Heart Clear Stamp Set using CS Flake & Glitter Glue and added Gunmetal Polished Silk Glitter. I cut it out using Justrite Antique Labels Ones Dies and inked through the die with Pumice Stone.

I made a bow using Sue's Mosaic 3D Bow Die Set and Dark Grey Card, rubbing the die cuts with Pewter Gilding Wax prior to assembly.

I assembled the card as shown adding some Small Circle Dazzlers to the corners and some dots of Cosmic Pearl Cosmic Shimmer Pearlescent PVA around the edges.

You can find another couple of previously blogged card featuring Toby here.

Thanks for stopping by.
