This card has actually been sitting on my table partially completed for several days. It wasn't until today that I had the energy and mental capacity to finish it.
This week's challenge with my FAB and Sassy friends was to create a card using a faux technique in honor of April Fool's Day which is coming up soon. I was going to use Faux stitching but I realized with the dog theme of this card that Faux Metal would be really cute.
The card is a 5.25" by 5.25" square. I don't normally do square cards but I originally wanted to try the Hanna Sketch Challenge from last week. When that didn't work out I thought I would I would do the Sketch from the challenge from My Favorite Things. As you can see, other than a square card and the dog image being in a circle, it is nothing like those sketches. I told you I was having a bad week! LOL!
The stamped images are from Hanna Stamps. I recently received my order with the My Best Friend and the Large Breed Stamp sets and could not wait to use them. The Faux Metal charm is the collar from the My Best Friend set. I used Silver Embossing Powder and the tutorial on SCS to achieve the look of a metal embellishment. I only had a tiny little piece of silver thread so I had to use hemp twine to attach it to the ribbon.
Anyway- this card didn't turn out exactly as I had first, or second or probably even third evisioned it. (LOL!) But it is done and I think I like it. Thanks for looking!!
