This card was created for the Color Challenge (CC180) at Splitcoastampers.com. The challenge was to use Ruby Red, Blush Blossom and Close to Cocoa.
I actually started this card using a completely different stamp set , "Crazy for Cupkakes" and I just could not get the combo to work for me. After struggling with that for about 20 minutes, I quickly switched focus, dug through my stamp sets and found these cute little dogs. They are from the "Loads of Love Accessories" stamp set.
I stamped the pups in Close to Cocoa ink, then popped them out using Stampin' Up!'s small oval punch. I then inked up the "Cute & Curly" stamp set (that comes in a bundle with the new curvy label punch) also in Close to Cocoa. This image got punched out and mounted on four Stampin' Dimensionals.
The designer series paper you see is Berry Bliss and now retired. But I had a few pieces left and thought it worked perfectly for this challenge and Kreation. A strip of Blush Blossom cardstock got two long holes with the horizontal slit punch, then was threaded with some Kraft Taffeta ribbon.
Final touches on the card are the sentiment from Hostess Level I set "Best Yet" and three tiny adhesive pearls. The base of the card is Ruby Red card stock.
This card will be given to my Mom - a strong woman who could use these little puppies right now. She's a dog fanatic so this card is purr-fect for her. Or should I say woof-fect?? ... sorry, I'm more of a cat lover! :)
