I would like to send a HUGE thank you to Di over at Pixie’s Crafty Workshop for selecting my card in the Top 3 Picks. It means so much.

I would like to thank everyone over at Pammies Inky Pinky for selecting my card for an Honorable Mention. I really appreciate the support and encouragement.

Hello and welcome
Today it’s time for our new challenge over at Watercooler Wednesday! This week Tristan is hosting the Challenge –Anything with a Masculine Twist.

My card is one I made for a dear friend’s birthday and hopefully it brought a smile!

This one features Mama Elephant – The Dog’s Woof stamp set.
After stamping it was copic coloured and the smaller images fussy cut.
The little pup from the Playful Pups set was also coloured and fussy cut.
Mama Elephant – Window Dies were used to cut 2 of the windows and one set of the shutters from white card. A matching shape was cut in the front of the card.
A panel of white card was embossed using Darice Brick EF. Once it was added to the card front, the window shape was cut from this panel also.
Inside the card DP was added to cover the entire card. Again the window was cut to match the card front.
The windows (one on the front and one inside) were added along with the shutters on the front.
The sentiments were stamped on the front bricks using Mama Elephant – Mini Everyday Messages and the sentiment from Mama Elephant – Playful Pups was stamped inside above the window frame.
The pup was added to the front of the card.
The large pup panel had the tartan ribbon added to the bottom and then added to the inside of the card with some raised tape behind the top.
The extra items on the ‘table’ were added with raised tape to finish the party scene.
I hope you liked this fun card.

Helen
