 I love dogs. This Scottish Terrier from Whimsy Stamps is so adorable-and a great way to learn Copic coloring on! I always struggle with animal coats, so hopefully I'll get better at them. I used The Stitched Scallop Basic Edges from My Favorite Things, and the sentiment is from Stampendous called "Dog Sayings".

and the gold splatters-


Really, a very simple card. The Whimsy Stamps "Hey, Ostrich" were colored with Copics, and arranged on an ink blended background. I used the Distress Oxides Antique Linen, Bundled Sage, and Stormy Sky, then splattered the Cloud Nine/Lisa Horton Gold Interference ink on it. The sentiment is from The Rabbit Hole called Sassy Sentiments. I love some good sass!

Frantic Stamper Loopy Edger

 

 Are We All FRANTIC STAMPERs This Month?

     

 Prize: Frantic Stamper has provided two wonderful dies!

  

Here is my project- 


 And a bonus card-


These cards were quick and easy to make up, and I gave them out on Thanksgiving this year. I used a regular A2 card base, and cut one edge using the Lovely Loop Edger by Frantic Stamper. I used it again on my printed cardstock and glued it to the front, then trimmed. Easy Peasy! I stamped the sentiment using Autumn by Hero Arts, and the turkey was an Impression Obsession die.
