Congrats Pup

Poster: Shoe Girl

WT1086 - New Beginnings

For this card, I created a design inspired by the New Beginnings challenge, using a new die cut to craft a playful dog theme. The bone and bow pieces were cut, then enhanced with sponging and white highlights to bring depth and detail. The bow was raised with dimensionals, adding extra interest to the layered elements.

The focal panel is set against paw print paper, while the "Congratulations" sentiment was die cut and layered in red cardstock to provide a bold pop of color.

To finish, I added a few gold sequin hearts from my stash, giving the card a touch of sparkle and helping me use up some of those treasured embellishments.

Thank you for stopping by. I would love it if you would check out my Blog: Shoe Girls Cards.

Thank you for looking!

Terrific card, Lisa! The white highlights on the ribbon and the sponging on the bone certainly do enhance these great dies and the paw print dp looks wonderful!

Lisa, this is a wonderful card. Your shading with pen and ink really adds to the depth and dimension of the design. The paw print paper is also a perfect choice!

So cute. I'm always amazed at how a few strokes of white gel pen bring dimension and life, and your bow is a perfect example of how to do it.
