only a dog...


Good morning, hope no-one's been washed away this week! The weather here has been pretty dismal for August but by all accounts nowhere near as bad as in other parts of the UK., awful for the kids and for those on holiday, let's hope next week will bring an improvement.
This week at Sweet Stampin' we have a CAS theme -you love it or you hate it. I love the look of CAS cards but it's not something I'm good at! To make this one I stamped and masked the dog stamp ( I LOVE this stamp) stencilled  the background then coloured the dog with copics...had to be grey to look like Mathilda! I stamped the sentiment ( from same set of stamps by Picket Fence), trimmed around his snout and ears so I could pop the image behind the aperture with just his nose resting over the edge.
There's more to see over at Sweet Stampin', my lovely teamies have been busy creating some beautiful CAS cards to inspire you, hope you choose to join us this week.

I'll leave you with a picture of my beautiful big girlie...just like the stamp but with shorter untidier ears!



Thanks for visiting. have a great weekend

Terrific card with the picture of your sweet doggie. Well thought out to have his snout laying on the opening. The extra work masking and doing the background was worthwhile and effective. Thank you for playing with us at 2CCC.

A really super CAS card Chris and a great fun image and design. love the look on his face. I think CAS cards are pretty classy and your eye really focuses on the image.
Well, you would not believe how cold it was here yesterday evening, my hands were frozen, if it wasn't for the fact that it was August the heating would have been on.
Lovely photo too.
