I stamped this image, 3 different stamps using Stazon timber brown ink onto shimmer white paper using the stamp-a-ma-jig and imaging sheets for the placement of each image. I stamped the Briard onto apricot appeal a second time and colored him with creamy caramel and the aqua brush, then went over him again with pumpkin pie re-inker and aqua brush. I then cut him out with tiny scissors and mounted him in his spot. For the barefoot boy I stamped him again on so saffron paper with stazon timber brown and colored his shirt for shading with so saffron re-inker. I then stamped the boy again on whisper white, colored in his legs with blush blossom. I saved this pece for after I matted to picture to bring his legs "outside the box". I also stamped his hat onto creamy caramel with stazon timber brown, cut it out and glued it onto him.This was fun but very time consuming. The most time consuming was gettin my d.h. to help w/ the matting!

Your card is absolutely stunning! I had to see your gallery after reading your comment to Shellapoo about the glitter! You just sounded like fun! And Isee you are quite a serious stamper too! (And I love your siggy line about finding a pony! Lol!)
Lovely as a Tree is one of my favorite SU sets, and your scene is just beautiful! TFS!
