Pet Shop Mahalo

My hubby wanted a thank you card for a male co-worker so I pulled out my brand new Gel-a-tins set Pet Shop (which I've been wanting *forever* and couldn't find until just recently!) because I know he's a dog lover and because I don't have a lot of male-friendly stamps!

I used Papertrey Ink's Simple Alphabet to make the word Mahalo and its tiny size fit perfectly on the little square. I cut out an extra head and stuck it on with foam tape for dimension. You can see it a little better here:

I decided to keep it very clean and simple so I just matted the focal image on a bigger square of black cardstock and that was it! I have to admit that I really love this card and will probably make more of them soon!

Other materials used: white cardstock - Georgia Pacific; black cardstock - Stampin' Up!; Graphite Black Brilliance Ink - Tsukineko; square Nestabilities.
