Good morning! The sun is shining, and it is warmer here in Ohio than it has been in a long time. I am ready for spring and all the flowers to start blooming.
I definitely get a "spring" feeling from my next two cards. The first one is a get-well card. Since I first saw the AiCS38 Doggy Kisses stamp set on the Art Impressions website, I have been a huge fan. I've always had a deep affection for animals, and dogs in particular are very special to me. At one point, we had five dogs. It was enjoyable but crazy!
I really wanted to use at least two of the dogs to create a joyful scene for my card. I started by stamping the dog lying down with his sweet bear. Then I hand-drew a doggie bed for him to rest in. Both dogs, the tissue box, and the teacup were all stamped using an Archival Black stamp pad. To paint the images, I used the following Tombow markers: 177, 817, 772, 515, 565, N65, N55, 879, 969, 837, 025, 977, 942, 947, and 526. To complete the scene, I painted a pink, floral wallpaper and a wooden baseboard. Then I die-cut the entire scene using the new 6048-Scalloped Rectangle dies and mounted it on light pink cardstock. I added a few sequins to add some depth to the card.

For my second card, I used the new 6106-Spring Keepsake set. The scalloped rectangle dies were also used to die-cut this scene. The paper was from the 5742-Easter paper pack.
I hope everyone is having a fantastic weekend! I will be seeing you all again in just a few weeks.
