Pawesome

Hi everyone,

It's challenge time with my friends over on the CCEE Stampers challenge blog. Lyn McAuley our challenge hostess for February continues to issue the challenges.

Apparently way back when Lyn was in grade school, every Valentine’s Day her classmates and Lyn had such fun creating Valentine Critters to decorate their Valentine boxes. The task for today is to create an animal of any kind on your card in which you use heart shapes for some of its body parts. 

I must confess when I first read the challenge I went eeekkk! But then I remembered some card my friend Dianne shared sometime last year using hearts to create animal easel cards and I knew what I was going to create for this challenge. This card is also inspired by one I saw on Pinterest by Susan Campfield which you can see here.



All the different elements that went to create the dog was made with the same Hearts Nestablities die set .... the easel card; the face; the nose; the ears, the tongue and the eye patch. 



When my card is closed it looks like this.



To create the easel I selected the largest heart in the die set and cut a piece of white card which I folded in half. I positioned the pointy end of the heart so it was slightly over the fold in the card so that part wouldn't cut. One it was die cut, I folded the top heart in half. 

I die cut another heart which I used to create the dogs face and then adhered the bottom part of the face to the bottom of the easel card.

I added the word "Pawesome" to the base card which is layered up about 5 layers so help keep the card open. 

Finally I added the I Love You to the right side of my card.
