For those of you that know me, you know I'm always up for a challenge. And I'm not sure that anyone challenges me more than my fabulous friend and upline Alicia! She always "makes me do my best" (sounds so motherly but in such a kind way!). So, I'm trying to figure out if she's trying to stump me or if in fact she just thinks Nathan is the sweetest and likes to buy him clothes!!! Anyhow, as a thank you she got me an outfit (and isn't is SOOOOO cute???) for my little guy. Of course the motive isn't just to see Nathan in a super cute outfit BUT to see a card that resembles it. So this was my mission tonight! I have to say that I'm happy with the background and the foreground is okay but I really need to find a couple more cute dog stamps....I should look at the new one in our catalogue.
Here is the card inspired by the outfit (sorry my photos aren't the best) I much prefer taking the pictures during the day. I used Chocolate Chip, Creamy Caramel and Bayou Blue. The ribbon is our new Double Stitched Bayou Blue and some HodgePodge. I stamped the greeting in Bayou Blue and then traced over it using the Creamy Caramel marker. I added some fun stitching lines on the dogs and the words. This of course is made with the Ruff Day set that I LOVE!!! Hope you like it!!! Keep sending me inspirational ideas, you never know what you may create!!!
That is too cute - I love those doggies! TFS! *STAMPIN HUGS* Alex
