Hello spring! The weather here in Georgia has turned gorgeous, and I’ve got spring fever! Although my sweet 17+ years old Biscuit is too frail to go for walks, before the sweltering heat of the Hotlanta summer comes, I am taking full advantage of the perfect weather and taking long daily walks with our super cute Bandito (who is just shy of 6 years old).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>To commemorate this moment in time, I created a card featuring Bandito popping out from behind a door, ready to jump out and go for a stroll. I created the card front using the IndigoBlu “Country House” Stamp<\/a><\/span> and cut open the right side of the double doors with an X-Acto blade to create an opening for the happy-go-lucky pup from JessicaOriginals Shih Tzu Stamp Set<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n

I used the following Arteza Fineliner 0.4 pt Ink Pens<\/a><\/span> softened with Arteza water brush<\/a><\/span> to color up both the country house doorway and the pup (note, as the pens do not have names or numbers, I am providing descriptions I made up for the colors from the 72 pen set and you can get a better sense of the actual markers used in the video where I show the colored pen lids as I color):
\nHavanese pup: light gray, medium brown, tan with red and burgundy for the tongue
\nDoor: burgundy, medium brown and tan
\nGlass in lamps and transom: light blue gray
\nStone walls: dark gray, medium gray
\nIvy: dark forest green, green and light green
\nTopiaries: medium green, citrus green, and lemon green
\nBoot scrapper and lamps: gold and yellow

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I fussy cut the pup (shortening the ears to look more like my Bandito) and inked the edges with a Momento Tuxedo Black Marker<\/a><\/span> and secured it with tape at the base and right behind the doorway. I popped the pup’s head up on double sided foam dots in front of the left door to create a little dimension and give the sense of the puppy actually coming out from the house. To reinforce the feeling of spring and add some unexpected texture, I also glued on a bunch of small resin nail art flowers to the two topiaries flanking the doorway. I also added Glossy Accents<\/a><\/span> to the glass window above the door, the glass of the lamps, and the puppy’s eyes and nose for some shine.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nFor the sentiment, I used the
Neat & Tangled “Out of the Box” Stamp Set<\/a><\/span>. Above the door, I curved the sentiment, “Just popping up to say…” using the MISTI tool<\/a><\/span> to echo the curve of the lunette above the double doors. Below the scene, I stamped the bold “Hello!” Lastly I mounted the card front on a black card base (I thought the black would add a crispness to the card) with fun foam to give the card a bit more dimension. I cut out the area of the open door from the fun foam before gluing it onto the back of the card front, and before gluing that mounted card front to the card base, I added a scrap of pink vellum to the area of the card base that would show through the open doorway to add just a hint of color without distracting from the already very busy scene.<\/p>\n
