Doggone Birthday Card with Nicky

Hello friends, this is Nicky back with you today on the Sunny Studio Stamps blog and I am sharing a birthday card that I made featuring the new Doggone Birthday mini stamp set from the Spring release. Read on for all the details.

I kicked things off with an A2 panel of white cardstock which I ink blended with Distress Oxide Inks to form a pastel focus in the top right and lower left corners. I then used the Dapper Diamonds Embossing Folder and ran it through my Big Shot to create the interesting background design. I took a second panel of white cardstock and die cut the Fancy Frames Rectangle Die. I glued the smaller frame directly to the background panel and the larger (outer) frame was applied with foam tape. From the negative inner cut I trimmed a piece of 'ground' for my characters to sit on. I ink blended it and glued in place.

I stamped the images from Doggone Birthday and I took the bow tie wearing pup from Happy Howl-o-Ween and stamped him. I coloured, highlighted and die cut the images with the Doggone Birthday dies and Happy Howl-O-Ween dies. Here are the Copic colours used:

Purple - V05, V01, RV00
Yellow - Y21, Y00, Y000
Green - YG41, G40, G20
Dog (left) - E35, E33, W6, W4
Dog (right) - w4, W2, W0
Bones - E43, E41

The die cut images were applied to the scene. I added a little shadow under the pups and a polka dot design to the large gift. I stamped the sentiment and applied the strips with foam tape and then I glittered my little heart out by adding sparkle to all of the ribbons. A few embellishments completed the scene.

Thanks for reading my blog post today, I'll be back next Friday with something brand new!
