I know several people who have recently brought new pets into their homes. On a regular basis through our fostering, I know many people who adopt pets into their families, but I can't give gifts to everyone of them! Instead, I'm trying to make a gift for friends who have a new furry addition.
It's a Doggie Bag!! I may break my arm patting myself on the back for the name of this project. My inspiration came from the
i {heart} papers design team inspiration for this month;
I love the windows in the blue room, and the colour of the pink accessories, so I combined the ' feel of the 2 rooms.
I stamped my cute little dog from my
Paw prints on Our Hearts stamp set by Market Street Stamps on
X-Press it Blending card stock by Copic with
London Fog Memento ink. I made her nose and eyes black by colouring over the grey ink with a black
0.3 Copic multi liner pen before I coloured her with
C00/01/03/05 copic markers. Because I use Memento ink and copic pens, my image doesn't smear or run when I colour using copic markers. This collar image is too short for this dog image since it is intended for the Chihuahua image in the set, but it's not a problem since I extended the collar by filling in the gaps with my multi liner pen.
That sweet little bling on this pup's collar is a
light pink basics rhinestone from kaiser craft. A must have for all puppy fashionistas!!
This tag was made using leftovers from the window - waste not! I stamped the sentiment in London Fog Memento ink and the little paw print and wings was stamped in Rich Cocoa Memento ink. I used a larger light pink rhinestone below the sentiment and attached it with a tiny paper clip.
Natural Linen cord was cut to length and then separated into strands before being tied to the paper clip. This paper is from
Uncommon by Authentique. I wanted to add a little more personality to my bag so I cut off the top 2" using
Pierceabilities Pinking cutting border die. The effect is fabulous!!
