Life's a Garden...

Dig it!

 

Popping in tonight to share a card I made for the March Stamp of the Month Challenge over at From the Heart Stamps.  I usually don't wait to the last minute to post my monthly card, but this month was so packed with activities, I found myself running behind.

 

Anyway, March SOTM is Digging Dog.  This set has 2 images and 8 sentiments, it's really cute!  Oh and it's great for a man's card too! There are many other cute images that can be found in the SHOP .  Check it out and play along next month, everyone who plays will receive the next SOTM FREE!

 







 

My card starts with a Kraft base, layered with pattern paper from a 6" x 6" pad from Doodlebug Design, Inc. called Hip Hip Hooray.  I love the bright colors in this pad.

 

I colored the dog using the following Copic markers:  Blender, B23, B32, B50, C-0, C-7, E31, E33, E35, E37, E50, G14, R05, R22, R32, RV10, RV13, Y15, Y38, YG06, YR04

 

I used my dies from Spellbinders to cut out the image and sentiment.  To finish the card, I added a ribbon bow and yellow glitter sprinkles from Doodlebug

 

I hope you like my card, and feel free to leave a comment.  Make sure to check back tomorrow, as I have my Design Team card over at Kitty Bee's Aloha Friday Challenges.  I've been continuing to practice my hair techniques and really love the card I will be sharing. 

 

Thanks for coming by,

 

Karen

About my card and the image...

If you check out my blog, you'll notice that I love to make long cards and square cards. 

This card is a 5" x 5" Square.

I colored my image with my Copic markers, added my own computer sentiment.

Finishing touches:  Red heart brad, 3 large black brads attached to paper tabs, black/white twine.

I am also entering this card into the "It's Hip to be Square" challenge at Dustin Pike
