Paw-fectly Normal!?

Hello friends - thanks so much for stopping by today.  It has been a couple of days since I posted, I have been busy with some deadlines that are looming and a publication - but I am excited to share with you when the time is right!!  Today's card has a little bit of humour to it - keeping it light - much needed some days - don't you think?!


My background is created using Imagine Memento Inks in Teal Zeal applied using the Seth Apter Dot Matrix Stamps and randomly splattered using Dandelion ink and splattering of white  paint. Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L E-Z Adhesive Runner and 3D Foam Squares have been used on this card.


The inked layer has been cut using Spellbinders Nestabilities Celebrations Pierced Ovals Etched Dies #6 (#1 being the smallest).  The image has been stamped using Imagine Memento Tuxedo Black Ink  and coloured using Chameleon Pens.  This has been popped up onto the Pierced Oval using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L 3D Foam Squares and onto the pre-cut card base and card front.


The sentiment is from the Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Bird Crazy  - I love that sentiment!. It has been stamped using Imagine Memento ink on Tuxedo Black and trimmed with a dove tail on the right hand end; sponged around the edges using Teal Zeal ink and popped across the lower portion of the oval.  A black stud has been added to the left side of the sentiment.  The embellishments are from the Celebrations Enameled Elements Embellishments.
