Gone To The Dogs - Daisy

Hello everyone,

Today's card is of Daisy.

The printed paper is DCWV The Pet's Stack.  The image is layered on Stampin' Up Whisper White and My Mind's Eye.  The sentiment is Stampabilities Happy Birthday 10 stamped in Marina Mist.  The embellishments are Close To My Heart Mocha Opaques.

Daisy is a lovely and energetic dogs.  She has a great personalities and just loves running around with the other dogs.  She is a really beauty when she gets going.  I love seeing her run so this photo was a bit of a no brainer.  Daisy's card and the next three are the more difficult cards in this series.  The photos had to be rather small to have the quality needed for a card.  It takes a fair bit of jigging and layering to make them work.

I hope you enjoy this card and come back to SPI again soon.

Gone To The Dogs - Alicia

Hello everyone,

Today's post is Alicia's card.

The background paper is DCWV The Pet's Stack.  The images are layered on Stampin' Up Very Vanilla.  The sentiment is Gina K Garden Silhouettes stamped in Early Espresso on Very Vanilla.  The embellishments are of unknown origin.

This card is all about the photos.  I couldn't choose just one of this beautiful Irish Setter.  Though the patterned paper is from the same DCWV pad that I've been using, it is not particularly 'dog'.  I used though because this orange plaid really worked with Alicia's colouring.  Alicia is another sweetheart and is sister to Peaches.  What a lucky family to have such lovely dogs in their family.

I hope you enjoy this card and come back to SPI again soon.

Gone To The Dogs - Peaches

Hello everyone,

I think today's post is one of my favourites in this entire dog series.  It is of Peaches.

The printed paper is DCWV The Pet's Stack layered on Stampin' Up Early Espresso and Certainly Celery.  The image is layered on Whisper White.  The sentiment, Kaisercraft Occasions is stamped in Early Espresso on Whisper White.

Peaches is a real sweetheart.  I absolutely love this photo which just shows off that beautiful face.  This photo works wonderfully with this particular sheet of paper, having just enough pink to make Peaches really stand out.

I hope you enjoy this card and come back to SPI again soon.

Gone To The Dogs - Ajax

Hello everyone,

Today I'm posting Ajax's card.

The printed paper, DCWV The Pet's Stack, is layered on Stampin' Up Certainly Celery.  The image is layered on Sahara Sand and Certainly Celery.  The sentiment, Gina K Follow Your Dreams, is stamped in Early Espresso on Whisper White and layered on Certainly Celery.  The embellishments are Celery Oregon Raindrops.

Ajax is a lovely dog and I thought this picture really shows his great personality.  I think I may have over done the embellishments but I wanted to balance the sentiment element with the image.

I hope you enjoy this card and come back to SPI again soon.

Gone To The Dogs - Bailey

Hello everyone,

Today's card is of the beautiful Husky, Bailey.

The printed paper is DCWV The Pet's Stack layered on Stampin' Up Early Espresso.  The image is also layered on Early Espresso.  The sentiment is Papertrey Ink Signature Greetings stamped in Early Espresso on Very Vanilla and layered on Early Espresso.  The embellishments are Sea Blue Oregon Raindrops.

I love this card.  These little bones are so cute.  I chose the embellishments to match Bailey's beautiful blue eyes.  I love the brown and blue together.  It took me nearly a dozen photos to get one of Bailey that worked.  I ended up cropping this one to just show her face.  Dogs and kids are so hard to photograph.

I hope you enjoy this card and come back to SPI again soon.

Gone To The Dogs - Brady

Hello everyone,

Today I'm posting Brady's card.

The printed paper is DCWV The Pet's Stack layered on Stampin' Up Baja Breeze.  The image is layered on Very Vanilla and Early Espresso.  The sentiment, Stampin' Up Teeny Tiny Wishes, is stamped in Baja Breeze on Very Vanilla.

Brady is a young dog who is full of energy and loves to kiss other dogs!  He is always on the move and this photo was incredibly difficult to get.  This is actually a cropped picture of Brady and a puppy known as Flash (his card is coming) who were playing in a sand pit at the dog park.  It was hilarious to see these two play.

I hope you enjoy this card and come back to SPI again soon.

Gone To The Dogs - Duke

Hello everyone,

I'm still going strong with the dog park cards.  Today is the handsome Duke.

The printed paper is DCWV The Pet's Stack layered on Stampin' Up Baja Breeze.  The image is layered on Very Vanilla.  The sentiment, Stampin' Up Warmest Regards, stamped in Early Espresso on Very Vanilla.  The entire card is highlighted with Sakura Clear Star Gelly Roll pen.

Duke is a lovely little dog.  When taking these photos at the dog park the other morning, he sat so readily and just waited until I was done.  You couldn't ask for more.

I hope you enjoy this card and come back to SPI again soon.
