Happy Dog!

Today I have a couple of projects using Crafty Individual's Happy Dog stamp. Click on the photos of the finished samples to take you to the Hixxy Studio YouTube Channel, and the video demos of each.

  

For the card, I used Spectrum Noir Harmony Water Reactive Inks - the Cool Neutrals and Dusky Shades 3-packs, and Smoked Pearl to create a background. I used elements from AALL & Create's "Deep Focus" for the stamping.

The image is stamped with Spectrum Noir Finesse Waterproof Ink in Flagstone. I coloured it with the same inks as above, mixed with a little Frosted Pearl Pixie Sparkle Highlights.

For the plaque, I painted the image with Speckled Egg, Broken China, Pumice Stone and Ground Espresso Distress Oxides. The paper is from a Crafter's Companion Nature's Garden Forest Friends 12x12 pad.

Happy Cockapoo!

Today I have two makes with the gorgeous "Happy Cockapoo" stamp from Crafty Individuals. 

The first is a decoupage card, and the second is a take on a "See No Evil ...." card. There are videos for both - just click on the photos.

Decoupage card

The stamp has some quite defined white areas around the face which make this perfect for decoupage. And the design of this with the zentangle, means you can play with colours! 

See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil

I used my X-Cut Circle punches to create the glasses and the headphones.

    

And this is how I created the bone, and then cut into the muzzle of the dog for it to sit in.
