To start my card, I imported Gerda's digital stamp into my Silhouette Studio Design software and did a trace so I could color these little guys. After coloring them, I moved the original stamp back into place and combined the colored image with its outline. Then I sized it and printed it. I wanted to use some dies to cut it out, so I didn't do a print and cut this time. I also chose a verse I thought went well with this image and printed it out for the inside of the card. The dies I used were all Spellbinders dies: Respendent Rectangles, Romantic Rectangles 2, and Radiant Rectangles. The verse was from the Word Art Wednesday website. I love the beautiful weekly verses they provide for free.
I wanted a little something to add a bit of interest to the front of the card, so I used an epoxy sticker and 3 pearls. I used foam squares to pop up the black mat, the puppy image, the burgundy mat and the verse inside the card.
I'm entering this card in the following challenges:
