I was thrilled when I discovered the adorable Clearly Besotted “Puppy Love” small stamp set<\/a><\/span> that is loaded with 3 puppy images that look just like my Bandito!<\/p>\n

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

I used Memento Desert Sand Ink<\/a><\/span> to ink them up to try a bit of no line Copic coloring, and I really love the results. To color up the pups like my sweet Havanese, I used a Copic Multiliner in 0.3 pt<\/a><\/span> to define the eyes and noses, a White Sakura Gelly Roll gel pen<\/a><\/span> to add white fur texture, and the following Copic colors:
\nWhite fur: W0 and W2
\nBrown fur: E11, E13, E15, and E57<\/p>\n

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

I fussy cut them out with my favorite Fiskars spring loaded reverse scissors<\/a><\/span>. Then to highlight them, I mounted them with foam tape onto scraps of pale pink tone on tone damask patterned paper that I cut into pennant and mounted on dark pink shimmer card stock. The standing and sitting pups were positioned on the upper pennant and the pup ready to play was positioned on the lower.<\/p>\n

I used 3 small wooden hearts from my stash and coated them with Hibiscus Pink Stickles<\/a><\/span> for sparkle (I had to let these dry overnight) and glued a heart by each puppy. I cut off the shank of a metal bone button and it fit perfectly glued in with E6000<\/a><\/span> as an embellishment\u00a0 in the gap created by the two facing pennants, between the 2nd and 3rd puppies.<\/p>\n

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

I used the left over scraps of the damask paper and the dark pink shimmer card stock to create a simple liner for the card. I hand printed the sentiment, “Happy Mothers Day to the BEST Dog Grandma!” using a hot pink Permanent Fine Point Sharpie<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n
