Growing in Unity~Day 2

Hi to all! Today I am sharing another Unity Stamp Company fur buddy from their Rescue Tales line.

To create this card I made a background of watercolors running into one another on a large sheet of textured watercolor paper. After drying I cut it slightly smaller than an A2 card and glued it to a white cardbase.

Next I stamped this adorable image on Canson heavy watercolor paper. The smoother texture creates a nice surface to stamp on. I painted the puppy and also watercolored the background using the same colors as the previous one.I went over the eyes and nose with a black Sharpie marker so the features stood out. I die cut the image using a Gina Marie Designs border die and glued it to the card.

Then I used a scrap of the first background and stamped the sentiment and glued strips from the same paper onto the sentiment for character. Gold matte brads were affixed to the right side and I adhered the piece to the card using glue dots to pop it up a bit. Finally, fuschia Stickles embellished the heart and mirrored confetti adds to the decor!

This is my inspiration for the card. Our sweet Moose is a Havanese puppy (12 years) who just got a short haircut from me– I thought he resembled this dog the most out of all the images in the Rescue Tales colllection. I’m pretty sure the dog stamp is most likely a terrier but his color markings sure matched Moose’s eyebrows and muzzle!

Hope you enjoyed this card, have a wonderful day!
