One Sick Puppy

Published by Michele Boyer at 8:22 am under Just Sayin', My Designs, My Favorite Things

Do you have a friend who is sick?  I’m not talking about physically, but sick in humor?  (Remember, this is all in fun!)  I have a friend who always makes me laugh…no matter what.  Sometimes she’s just plain silly, and sometimes…well, yes, she can be really sick.  But it’s still funny as can be.  So I made this card for her. 

One Sick Puppy

       OSP2

I have a stamp with the sentiment “heard you were one sick puppy” (by Art Gone Wild) but I wanted to add to the sentiment, so I used my computer to print the text on the patterned paper.  The pup is from “Cat n’ Dog” by My Favorite Things, and the charm reads “Be Yourself.”  I just wish I could have figured out how to add a captain’s hat to the dog.  ;) 

OSPCUI popped up the pup’s head as well as the white panel and the scalloped border.  I used a clear gel pen on the eyes and nose and a white gel pen to add highlights to the dog’s eyes and dots in the scallops.

In making this card, I needed to refill one of my brown Copic markers.  Just in case you’re not familiar with this process, you carefully remove the chisel tip from the end of the marker to refill the barrel.  That being said, here’s another important Copic marker tip:   After refilling the barrel, replace the chisel tip before replacing the cap  (My mind is on WAY too many things lately.)

That’s all for today.  Have a great one!!

Stamps:  My Favorite Things “Cat n’ Dog”  Ink:  Adirondack Pitch Black   Cardstock:  Prism White, Black   Patterned Paper:  Bo Bunny Press   Accessories:  Copic markers, black twill, charm, scalloped square Nestabilities (Spellbinders), blue dingly balls (Webster’s Pages), white gel pen (Signo), eyelets (American Crafts), clear gel pen (Sakura).  Card size 5” x 5”.

    You are a nut Michele! Darling card!!! I love the blue dingle balls (you were REALLY careful when you added those right? Hopefully Linz will do a tutorial on how to lift, separate and glue). The image, colors and charm are awesome!
