A dear crafty friend who is a fellow dog lover (Cathy aka on YT: Huckleberry Herbs and Art<\/a><\/span>), is hosting a challenge asking folks to create anything they like related to the theme “Peace and Brotherly Love.” Recently, I saw this wonderful quote: “What a beautiful world it would be if people had hearts like dogs,” and I knew that would be the inspiration for my project.<\/p>\n

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

I sketched out a peace symbol using some circle dies to help get the general framework and doodling an upside-down Y down the middle. Then using an old school Stamp-a-ma-jig<\/a><\/span>, a Fiskars acrylic block<\/a><\/span>, and Momento Tuxedo Black Ink<\/a><\/span>, I stamped out the\u00a0adorable puppies from the Mama Elephant “Little Dog Agenda” stamp set<\/a><\/span> in the shape of that peace sign to create this single layer card.<\/p>\n

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

I used the following Copic colors to bring all the pups to life and create the puppy peace symbol:
\nBlack and grey dogs: W0, W1, W3, W5 and W7
\nBrown and tan dogs: E50, E51, E53, E55, E57 and E59
\nRainbow of colors for accessories: R35, R37, YR04, YR07, Y11, Y21, Y19, G14, G17, B16, B18, C0
\nBlue dots to fill in peace sign: B000, B01 and B02
\nI also re-emphasized the puppy eyes and noses with a Sakura Black Glaze Pen<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

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

For the card liner, I printed the sentiment from my computer and simply stamped a couple of my favorite Little Dog Agenda puppies (the one offerings the bone and the heart) to flank the sentiment. To mat the card front, I used a beautiful shimmery dark blue card stock and then adhered the whole thing to a square kraft corrugated card base. I love how this non-traditional holiday card for dog lovers came out. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
