Happy by Donna Gray

Hi everyone,

Donna here today with a rather happy dog…..well I like to think he is!!

What I did:

First step was to take a piece of Strathmore Mixed media paper and swoosh through some Distress Oxides that were spritzed with a little bit of water on my craft mat.

Next step was to stamp the cute little dog on another piece of the Strathmore paper and colour in with diluted Distress Markers, picked up with a water brush.

Fussy cut the dog out and adhere to the background. The balloon image is a stamp from my stash which I stamped with a red Distress Oxide ink and then that was fussy cut out too and added to the card.

I then did a little bit of doodling with a black fine liner pen to make it look like the balloon was actually attached to the dog’s tail. 

I added a sentiment from Rubber Dance which I’m sure Laura could order if requested but any sentiment along the same lines would do just as well.

Go around the images with a Distress Marker to create shadows and to ‘ground’ the dog, mount onto black card and then white cardstock.

I love this little dog, such a devious expression he has!!
