Waggy Birthday


This is a card I've made for Amanda, my cousin's daughter, who is fifteen today.  The family have two labrador dogs which they dote on so I decided to use this as the theme for her card.  The main image is from Joanna Sheen's rubber stamp sheet Labrador Retriever and is stamped with Memento Black Tuxedo ink on to white card. Spellbinders square nestabilities dies were used to create a frame for it with a layer of silver mirri card underneath.  Spellbinders circle dies were used to cut out a paw print embellishment, layers for the tag, backing paper layers and also the sentiment.  Quickutz dies were used to cut the A for Amanda and the bones to make the corners and Stampin up black grosgrain ribbon was used for the bow and the stamped sentiment was from their Sincere Salutations set.

 
The black and white colour scheme was decided by the paw print backing card but the layout for the card was taken from the card challenge over at Seems A Little Sketchy. 

 

As well as the black white paw print card the black band of card under the main image has debossed paw prints on it which is difficult to pick up in the photographs.  The gingham paper is printed in greyscale from the Cuddly Buddly download A Patchwork of Papers Blue and a border was stitched  around it to create a frame.


Hope Amanda has a lovely day with Buster and Ruby and the rest of the family.

Thanks for reading today

    Your card is gorgeously Liz, I know I'm biased about the Labrador image but it looks so lovely and crisp in the monochromatic colours.

    Thanks so much for joining in our Animal Magic theme at Penny Black challenge this month.
