Penny Black - Buddy & Duck - Up!

Hey there!

Here is a new birthday card I made using a stamp set that I really love from Penny Black.

As I wanted the little puppy to be flying away, I first started by creating a sky using three shades of distress inks. And I think a sky is more beautiful with clouds, so then I applied white pigment ink using a cloud stencil and a sponge dauber.

To kind of frame the sky and add some more interest, I die cut two scalloped strips from white cardstock.

I stamped my image on watercolor paper using black waterproof ink, colored it using watercolor markers, and fussy cut it. Then I stamped my sentiment on my panel using the same black ink and my Misti tool to make sure it was perfectly aligned.

I attached my two scalloped strips on my panel using foam double sided tape, my image using foam squares, added white dots on the balloon using a white gel pen, and made the eyes of the puppy pop using black enamel accents.

Finally I attached my panel on a white card base, and added some clear sequins.
