Diggity Dog & Pattern Maker With Tracy

Hey there this is Tracy with my first design team post !

This new release is a great one isn’t it ? I love all the sets but being a fur momma I couldn’t resist using the Diggity Dog stamp set. And as soon as I saw it was a little sausage dog I just had to use the Houndstooth pattern from the Pattern Maker set too. 

I started off by stamp the cute doggy with balloons and the sentiment onto some Watercolor card and used Pink & Mains Surface Ink. 

I then used my Arteza Brush Pens to colour the whole piece ink and add some blue shading around the edge, I did debate adding some clouds in but I kinda liked how this turned out. 

Once it was dry I went in and added some details to the balloons with Tonic Shimmer pen and white Gel pen. I had left the spots on the red balloon white but to tie it in with the gold on the background I decided to add gold gel pen instead.

I then used the second largest Stitched Rounded Rectangle Die to cut the panel out and add some interest.

I created an A2 top folding note card from some Neenah cardstock and then using the houndstooth pattern stamp and my Misti I stamped just over half the card, I have to say I am normally rubbish at lining stamps up, even with a Misti but found this easy to do.

To tie the whole piece together I added a red strip of card along with a thinner strip of gold card.

Just to add some dimension I adhered some foam tape to the back of the main piece and adhered that to the note card. 

I really enjoyed creating this card and love the stamps.

The whole release is available  tomorrow so make sure you check it out.

I hope you like my card that I created using some of the new release.

Thank you so much for stopping by, have a great day & happy crafting.
