Welcome To My Home

This week all the Softpencil DT gals got the same image - this adorable one called Welcome To My Home:


I'm a big dog lover (we've got 3 of them) so I was really happy to be able to play with this image! The image actually only has 1 dog, but I wanted 2, so I printed out a larger version and a smaller version to get 2 different sized dogs. I colored everything with Copics, cut out all the different parts, and popped them up with foam tape.

You can see the dimension in this picture:


I popped up the little ladybug with a couple bits of cardstock, then the whole house with the bigger dog, and finally the little dog. You can also see that I added a tiny flower rhinestone to the girl dog.

This week's Design Element was distressing, so I ran my scissors over the edge of the plain circle, sanded the scalloped circle, and did some sponging on the plain circle and the card base.

I added some Stardust glitter pen moved around with a water brush to the flowers. You can see some of the effect here:


I used Sketch 16 from Unscripted Sketches:

And I also made this card for the Cupcake Craft Challenge 50 - use the colors green, pink, and brown, and animals and flowers. I decided to play because Softpencil is actually sponsoring this week's challenge, so definitely check it out if you'd like to win a $20 voucher to the Softpencil Etsy shop!

Other challenges:

• Stamp with Fun - pearls
• 365 Cards - sponging

I hope you like and TFL! And don't forget to check out the other DT members' blogs to see how they used this super cute image:
