Jen is our hostess for the Teapot Tuesday challenge which you can find HERE, along with why we are making it POP.
Being short of time, I combined it with Karen's Trace Your Stencil[/color] TLC challenge from yesterday. Last time I tried this with a stencil, I used a geometric which was certainly easier, but I wanted a woodsy background, and this TCW stencil was the most suitable thing I had. I did a monoprint with DOX ink and was happy with the result. I did use a dark brown marker for my outlining, rather than a black. I doodled a border all round the edges and added two layers of grass cut from a check DP - as is the sentiment. My hound dog was stamped on white card and coloured with Polychromos pencils. For his hat I printed some check and cut it with an IO die, cutting again from a cereal pack to add strength. The dog tag is liquid pearls.
I'd have loved time to do Jen's suggested Pop and Twist, as it's been on my "do it again" list for a while. But I settled for popping the dog's nose up on a foam dot, and the pops of colour from my red birds in the trees.

This is so darned cute and will be so appreciated, especially with the personalized tip of the hat. So any great details, Sabrina, with the plaid and doodles.

Sabrina, this is soooo fun! He will love that dog and hat and really appreciate how cool the nose and background are! I so want to try this technique now as I am love with how your trees look. Amazing card that will definitely make him smile. Then when he sees it is from you he will smile even more - so amazing to get cards from around the world. I can't wait to see his face when he tells me about all the cards and shows them to me. He needs a boost too. Thanks and many hugz

That stenciled background is fantastic! I have that stencil and now I feel I need to trace it. Love the dog with his funny face in that hat. This is just PERFECT for Pop!

Sabrina, I like every detail on here! And you got the Bear Bryant hat on here! Fabulous and important item to include. Also, I love the doodled border. My doodling never looks that good.
