Top Dog!

I really enjoy the ad inspired days over at 365 Cards and today was no different.

I was especially excited to see the cute dog at the foot of the bed in the advert, as only yesterday I got some new stamps, and one of them is the spitting image of that little cutie! They are still on sale here if you would like a gander! I have used the othe cat stamps here and also here.

I started with a load of scraps from my stash (DCWV, Sandy Lion and American Crafts) and created a patchwork effect. I then used the stamp (from Anita's Stamps) and stamped the dog in green. This was mounted on white card and matted on the matching DCWV purple paper and the same card as the base card. Next I added the die-cut sentiment (silver, the same as the mirror in the ad) and added the gems on the image and background. You can't quite see it but the four gems surrounding the dog are pale pink, lilac, pale green and pale blue, to match the patchwork colours.
