Hello friends! Hope that you’re doing well and enjoying the month of May so far! As I’ve mentioned in my previous post, I’ve been very busy working on projects “behind the scenes” that I will be sharing at a later date. The next couple of posts are scheduled as I will be away until next week. But I need to catch you up on the new challenge for now…
Today starts a new challenge over at the Alphabet Challenge Blog! We are now onto the letter “D” and the hostess has chosen “D” is for Dogs *Remember that this is a bi-weekly challenge, so you have two weeks to enter* I hope you will find some time to play along! Here’s what I’ve created:

I’ve pulled out this adorable stamp from my stash by Newton’s Nook called Birthday Barks and I’ve colored the stack of dogs along with a few extra balloon and gift images with Copic markers and cut them all out with the coordinating dies. (I’ve used a white gel pen for highlights and a silver gel pen for the bottom dog’s collar.) Some of the balloons and gift images were glued on the blue background, but the stack of dogs and a few of the other images were popped up with foam tape.
I’ve used some papers from the Newton’s Nook Birthday Woofs Paper Pad and the blue background was made using a solid balloon image from my stash and stamping it with white ink. I’ve black heat embossed the sentiment from the Birthday Barks stamp set and added a few clear sequins to the background.
This will make a great birthday card for a guy or girl! (I’m sure I’ve probably missed someone’s birthday somewhere! LOL) Hope you’ve enjoyed my card today and will stop by the challenge blog to see what the rest of the team has come up with. Pull out those dog stamps and come join in the fun!
Thanks so much for stopping in today and I’ll be back with another post tomorrow!

Thank you friend! No, the parcel still hasn’t arrived as it’s been sitting in Budapest since beginning of May and not moved. I think we may have given up even looking for it now! sigh.

This is really ridiculous, Vicki. I can understand that you will never ever send anything to Europe anymore.
Have a great weekend!

So stinkin’ cute! I love ALL animals – we always had dogs growing up (among many, many other kinds of critters) so they will always have a special place in my heart. Such a cute birthday scene you’ve created with some super cute products!

Such a fun and creative birthday card featuring the adorable Birthday Barks stamp set from Newton’s Nook. The stack of dogs, balloons, and gifts are beautifully colored with Copic markers, and the white and silver gel pen details add the perfect finishing touch. The Birthday Woofs Paper Pad provides a great background, and the black heat-embossed sentiment really stands out. Love how some elements are popped up with foam tape for extra dimension. A fantastic creation for any dog lover!
