Ruff Day?

March 15, 2016

Hi there,

it's Tanja here and I have a fun no-line coloring project for all the critter- and especially dog-lovers among you:

stamp the grumpy dog from the very versatile Gerda Steiner Desgns Howl are you? stamp set with Memento (Desert Sand) onto white cardstock and color the image with Delta Markers, a white gel pen and a Memento Marker (Rich Cocoa) - this is actually the first time I tried no-line coloring with alcohol markers and I am quite happy with the result
stamp the sentiment from the same set with Versamark onto a strip of black cardstock and heat-emboss it with WOW! Bright White Super Fine embossing powder
the background banner is the result from an Alcohol Inks on Yupo experiment: I added some Alcohol Ink droplets (Juniper, Aqua, Sailboat Blue, Lake Mist) onto the Yupo and let it dry and I liked the effect so much that I added some doodling with a black Fude Ball Pen around some circles and since I am the impatient kind of girl, I heat-embossed those outlines with clear embossing powder in order to avoid another drying time
cut out the stitched banner from the Alcohol Ink piece
cut out a scalloped square from kraft cardstock and create a pattern with the little bone from the same stamp set and kraft pigment ink
mount all the layers onto a kraft cardbase with a stamped dot background
