MMSC #97

I'm not sure that I am perfectly on target for this card. The inspiration came from Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge. The sketch inspired me to do framing with Torn Frame from Technique Junkies. This card is for a guy at work whose dog is one tomorrow. Alright this is a little silly, but Winston is like their child. He is an Italian Spimoni and cost a good chunk of money. These are my three. Misha is the black Bernese Mountain dog, Pepper is the beagle and Buddy is the Corgi. This is one of my favorite picture of the three of them and I have used it numerous times. They all line up on the deck when we come outside of pull into the driveway.

Do You Stack Up #12

Shine on is the theme for Do you Stack Up this week. I made the glitter paper on the right using paper run through a xyron. I then applied lace to the piece and applied the darker glitter. I then took the lace off and applied the light color glitter. I made the glitter brads by putting the end of the brad on a versamark pad and then dipping the brad in embossing glitter.

These were sort of odd colors for me, but I was sort of in a rut so I used an old Stampin' Up color wheel and picked colors that I liked.
