This is for QFTD15 and I have the honor of being this week's Queen for the Day. I was inspired by all the wonderful challenge entries you ladies did and especially loved the ones using Loads of Love and animal images. I decided to pull out my two top favorite Stampin Up sets- Loads of Love and Bow Wow to play with and to celebrate my upcoming birthday and my week wearing the crown by doing a card combining the little truck and doggies all in one scene. The Loads of Love accessories came in handy too and gave me more doggies to pile in the back of the truck and to have a driver.
All the images were stamped with black craft ink, watercolored with reinkers and cut out to pop up over the simple background scene. I sponged in the ground area and used my mini fern image to create texture. I used a sponge and cloud template to create the sky. I popped up all the images over the scene with glue dots and dimensionals and even though it's quite a busy scene it was lots of fun to do.
I want to thank each and every one of you that participated in this special honor for me this week. I haven't had as much time to stamp lately as my job has been keeping me overly busy. This was just the perfect push I needed to pull out my stamps and ink and get to creating something.

The Queen has spoken! My very first set I borrowed 3 yrs ago was loads of love. I stamped in on probably 100 sheets of white paper ... before I knew about cs. Anyway, your card is darling, precious and a myriad of other things too, Kittie.
I'm all about dogs so anything with a dog on it has me at hello. I love the country road with all those dogs. Very sweet. Enjoy your day.

Cute, cute, cute!!! I hope you never get rid of these two stamp sets because you always make the cutest scenes with them, Kittie. How fun that you were able to play right along with us today. I hope work isn't too bad when you go back.

Oh my word, Kittie this is just soooooo cute! Being a dog lover too, I could get lost in this scene with those darling doggies. Love how your coloring is so bold and rich. Just how do you do that with re-inkers? I love your sponged sky. This is definitely a winner in my book. Congrats again on being the Queen...and on your special day coming up. Whoo Hoo to you! TFS :0)
