A Set of Cards with the Same Design and a Dog Card

Okay so lots of photos because as I started making this card

then I wanted to try in a few different colours. I didnt get out lots

of ink pads. I used my Kaleidacolor Raised Rainbow Dye Inkpads.

They were the first inkpads I purchased and they are still going strong. I had

to throw one away because I forgot to separate the colours when finished

using them. The next time I got it out which was a long time later the colours had

all merged to become mud. Not very appealing. Each inked has 5 colors or 5 of one

color but in a range from light to dark.

My greens don't show as much difference now, the really light is a bit

darker but still a nice range. You push a lever and they all join up.

You need to remember to keep an eye on the stamps because you

can contaminate across the colours if not careful. Look at the fantastic colours

here going from orange/pink/purple/blue/green. Bright and lovely.

Here the colours start as very light orange through to red.

I used a part of a stamp that goes with a Sparkle & Shine set

which is a magic wand or sprinkler but I haven't added the

little circles of sparkles or the wands.

This was just what I wanted, so easy and clean (yes I stuffed up a few times

not stamping cleanly or pressing too hard and getting smudge areas) and settled on

the four cleanest. I added little sparkle stars from the set here and there to balance

things out and then added die cuts and stamped sentiment. Stayed with the die cut

for 'sparkle' as I wasn't sure what I wanted to add....yet.

This next card I had so much fun doing. Another of Mo's Digital Sets,

I decided to bring all of the images onto one page and set them up in a

cycle with the ball in the middle to balance the dogs.

They are so cute and I coloured them with Copics, very easy as they we reduced in

size to fit on the card.  A lot of manipulating as they are jpg's which means they

tend to cover each other and leave blank spots if too close together as they don't

have blank backgrounds. 

 

I thought of lots of sentiments but was limited by what would fit neatly and

didnt want to go back to the computer. Then I saw the Celebrate stamp set

from Stamplorations. the 'Celebrate was too big os I used a die cut one but the words 

to go with it were just what I wanted 'The little things'.

I like it, it makes me smile, I'm happy.
