Hello Bird Dog

Hello Nomad Friends.  Weather wise the day started surprisingly well, and has ended predictably wet!!!  Changeable is what they call it.  I got a flower bed in the garden tidied this morning and then adjorned to the craft room for some stamp/cut therapy.


I used the Santa from the Paper Smooches Santa Paws set the other day, but there are other stamps in this set where xmas is optional.  I decided to stamp this cute long dog and use the Fused Frame die for a CAS card.  I stamped the dog and then the bird, using Bluebird archival ink on a piece of card that matched my card base, fussy cut round the dog's nose, and then did a tricky cut with the Fused Frame die.  Then I cut the frame again from the darker blue card and added them to the card base in an ascetically pleasing manner.  I added a bit of ground using Weathered Wood distress marker.  The hello is a Stamplorations Skinny Sentiment die, cut from the same card as the base and frame.

Thanks for dropping by.  Hugz

Liking the aesthetically pleasing manner in which you have added the elements of your card! Like it very much actually. Not your usual style, but it's good to try different things - especially when they work this well, Jo x
