Bark, Bark, Bark!


I am not 100% sure what bark, bark, bark means but maybe in this case it could mean green, green, green.

Today I decided to combine my challenge I do with my fab sassy friends on SCS each week with the new Hanna Stamps which are going to be released this Friday 14th March. Our challenge this week was inspired by the approaching St Patrick's Day ... so we had to create a card using just green! I wouldn't normally color roses a greenish color .... but I know my fab sassy friends will be looking at this closely so I can assure you that other than a little brown (we were allowed to use neutral colors ... and brown is a neutral color) every here is green.

The stamps used here are from 2 of the new Hanna Stamps sets which will be released this week .... the topiary is from the small breeds set and the dog is from the large breeds set ... these sets are fantastic esp if you are a dog lover!

The background used here is created using the Swiss Dots cuttlebug embossing folder ... this is one of the easiest folders to match up when you are creating a larger card ... you will need to turn the card over and carefully use a stylus to poke a row of dots out ... but that is pretty easy to do.

I cut out 2 rectangle scallop nestabilities and joined them to create the scallop layer to the dog panel.

Recipe:
Stamps: Small Breeds & Large Breeds - Hanna Stamps
Paper: White; River Rock & Old Olive - SU; DP - Imaginisce
Other: Black Ink; River Rock SU Ink; Swiss Dots Cuttlebug Embossing Folder; Rectangle Nestabilities; Green Brads; Green Grosgrain Ribbon - Papertrey Ink; Foam Tape
