Ever need to make a card in a hurry and just looked around on your desk to see what you could co-opt to whip one together? That is what happened to me this morning when I realized it was my brother-in-law’s birthday TODAY, and I had about an hour to make a card before I had to run to the airport. \u00a0Now let me preface that it usually takes me a good day of crafting to make a card. \u00a0But this was a card emergency! LOL<\/p>\n

<\/a>I salvaged a green circle die cut embossed with doggy paw prints (from a Darice embossing folder) and Forest Moss distress inking and a gold shimmery ring die cut that was left over from my peek a boo bulldog card from a few days ago.\u00a0Then I chose\u00a0the adorable I Wuff You Art Impressions stamp (that I picked up at the Scrapbook Expo a couple months ago and have been itching to ink up) to make the focal point. Isn’t he so adorbs?! My brother-in-law is a big dog lover so I knew he would like this.<\/p>\n

I\u00a0stamped out the image twice and\u00a0colored 1 image with these Copic colors:
\nLight parts of pup: E50, 51 and 53
\nDark parts of pup: E31, 33, and 35
\nRibbon bow: E13, 07 and 09 (to match the background paper)
\nBlush: R20<\/p>\n

The second image I just colored the edges with E33 (for the dog parts) and E07 (for the bow parts). \u00a0I didn’t fret too much about blending or exactness on this second image since I was going to fussy cut around the whole thing,\u00a0and it was going to go under the first carefully colored image. I fussy cut both images and for the top image I separately cut the head and bow away from the body. \u00a0To add a little extra sumthin’ sumthin’ I made a DIY action wobble for that head piece so the pup can nod his head up and down. \u00a0I luv it when my pup, Bandito, does that. \ud83d\ude42 \u00a0The sentiment and the papers are from an old paper collection from my stash–sorry I can’t remember the brand.<\/p>\n

And the punch line? I frantically finished the last addition of popping up the sentiment on double sided foam adhesive as my sister pulled into the driveway to take me to the airport. I made it just in time! \u00a0I got a call tonight from my brother-in-law thanking me and oohing and ahhing over the card.<\/p>\n

This card is being entered into the following challenges:
\nArt Impressions Shake It Off Challenge<\/a>\u00a0– WINNER
