#TGIFC313 - April Paper Pumpkin meets Pampered Pets

 Hello Crafty Friends! 

This week I'm coming to you with a card that features the adorable Pampered Pets stamp set and the April Paper Pumpkin kit as part of my entry to the TGIF Challenge #313, which is all about dogs & cats. 

I personally prefer dogs over cats so I naturally went for the dog image, especially since our adorable pup, Blue, is a mini schnauzer. He's a cutie, isn't he?!

The card came together rather quickly because the elements contained in the Paper Pumpkin Kit were already complete and ready to be placed on the card! That's one of my favorite parts of the kits!

 Below is my version of the card.

 

CARDMAKING TIPS

• The following elements are from the Paper Pumpkin kit: rainbow, sun, silver glitter paper, birthday banner, sentiment, and twine.
• The best part of this kit is that it coordinates with the Ice Cream Corner DSP, which was used for the card mat and the large stitched square.
• I reversed the dog image to have him face to the left by using the Stamparatus and the Silicone Craft Sheet. 
• After placing the stamp onto the Stamparatus, stamp the image onto the silicone craft sheet using Memento Ink. 
• Carefully place the piece of Cinnamon Cider cardstock on top of the wet image and firmly rub the cardstock without letting it move around. 
• Leaving the piece of cardstock in its place, stamp the image once again onto the cardstock. This is for the purpose of being able to line up your die for cutting out the image, since you cannot reverse the die. 
• Use a white gel pen (non-SU!) to color the collar of the dog. Use some light cinnamon cider stampin' blend marker to shade a few areas of the dog as shown.
• The two little butterflies by the dog were colored with Rich Razzleberry and Pool Party Stampin' Blends.
• I carried over some of the same elements from the card front into the inside of the card.
