Man's Best Friend
The theme this week on MMM is 'Animals and Birds' on a male card. This idea has been rolling around in my head for a while now. I made the coloured frames using a stencil I cut out of a scrap piece of acetate and the SU In Colours (Pool Party, Indigo Island, Wisteria Wonder and Lucky Limeade). I stamped the dog image (I think it's a retriever, although I am no dog expert) using natural shades and stamped two of the frames. To make the mirror images I stamped onto that scrap bit of acetate again and carefully transferred the image to the other two frames. I layered the frames onto matching card, added a greeting and a few colour matching brads and it's finished. Thanks for puuting this card in the Top Three at Make My Monday
