A couple of sets of friends have new additions to their families – the four legged variety!! Good excuse to design, make and send a card,  I think.. I would send one congratulating the safe arrival of a baby so why not a puppy!!!!

The blue version is for Fry, a french bulldog and used Soft Sky card and the pink version for Cilla, a hairless Chinese Crested, which used Pink Piroutte card.

Those of you who follow my blog know that I love punch art and this is just the cutest puppies around.  I used Crumb Cake card for the head and muzzle, Chocolate Chip for the ears,   white and black for the  eyes and nose.  I sponged the head and muzzle with Soft Suede ink and used the Soft Suede marker to draw in the ‘whiskers’ .  A Pink hair bow for Cilla and an Early Expresso ‘bow tie’ for Fry and the cards were complete.

Happy Stamping 🙂
