Pawesome!

 

This was a commission from a mother to her dog-loving son.  I saw this die in an Action store a few weeks ago and thought he might come in handy.  Action stores are the closest thing we have to dollar stores in Europe. The kerchief (from another doggy set - Marianne D. Scottish Terrier) fitted him perfectly and I used the bone die from the same set to focus his attention so he'd behave!  One of the bones and the kerchief were cut from a snippet of tartan DP (I wasn't going to waste a cm of this lovely paper also from Marianne D) which happens to be pretty close to this family's tartan.  I was going to go with the sentiment "Keep Your Eye on the Prize", but my friend asked if I could include a line from a family favourite song (Jason Mraz's Have it All).  So I created a banner using the computer.  The embossing folder is from Darice.  A coat of glossy accents later and he's a gorgeous glossy black Labrador puppy!

This is a card from a four-legged friend for her master's birthday!   The white card stock was embossed with a Darice Embossing Folder.  The Happy Birthday came from a Sizzix Thinlits set (Female Occasions).  I used the negative and added a piece of acetate behind so I could stick in the little bits from the As, Ps, B and D (I can't stand negatively die cut letters without the little bits reinserted) - I wasn't sure those little pieces would stick well to the uneven surface of the embossed background!

The bone is included in a Marianne D die set (Scotty Dog),  The Scotty dog itself did not resemble "Misty-No" at all so did not get used.

She asked me to sign the inside for her 😉
