We celebrated Dudley's 7th Birthday with him during the week - and this is the card I made from Len and myself for the little pickle:
I used:
- 5.5" x 4.25" white card blank, side opening
- snippet of the same brand of white card for the image panel - trimmed to 5" x 3.75"
- stamped the image of puppy and parrot onto the panel using a VersaFine Clair 'Nocturne' ink pad and coloured it using polychromos pencils before writing a 7! x onto the balloon. The stamp is from a long discontinued SU 'Bella and Friends' stamp set - SO Dudley!
- then die cut the sentiment twice using a NBUS fun die by Poppystamps called (naturally) 'Peace, Love and Belly Rubs' - using a snippet of paper from the Altenew 'Enchanting Washes' paper pack
- when time came to double layer the sentiment, it was going to be very tricky to totally line up the two layers - so I just glued one layer onto the image panel. It's such a detailed die cut but the design thankfully keeps its shape well
- then popped the fallout from the heart shapes in both die cuts above the sentiment
- glued the image panel onto a 5.25" x 4" snippet of plain toning blue card
- finally, added the completed panel to the card blank using narrow foam strips
I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
Darnell's NBUS Challenge #76 - HERE. The sentiment die was havibg its first outing!
Allsorts Challenge #828 - HERE. Under 'Anything Goes'
Dudley Pupdate: Dudley Dog had a lovely Birthday - many thanks for the good wishes, cards and even some doggie treats! As usual he's been keeping us, mostly Len, on our toes. I slept right through the performance but during Friday night Dudley was very restless and eventually climbed on top of Len in bed and stared right into his face. Once shooed away he apparently then insisted on standing on his hind legs beside Len's bedside and tapping at him for attention. He'd just been out into the garden but off they went outside again - just in case. Eventually he settled down - and then this morning Len found one of Dudley's favourite bedtime treats laying on the top of his bedside cabinet. It seems he'd forgotten to give it to Dudley - but that little guy knew fine well it was there waiting for him!!
Very importantly, the results of Challenge #508 are now published HERE.
Do please come and play in Sarn's current challenge over in the Snippets Playground - just scroll down - there's a lovely prize bundle!
Love from myself and Dudley, xxx
