A Ruff Day

Admittedly, we've ALL had our fair share of "ruff" days lately!  It's more like, rough months, and I highly suspect that come the end of 2020, we will all proclaim it a very "ruff" year!  Today's card features the "Cone of Shame" stamp set by Whimsy Stamps and this poor dog might just be feeling a tad worse for wear than the rest of us at the moment.

Card details: 

The base of this A2 sized card is made from Neenah Solar White Smooth cardstock.  I created a rectangle frame for the card measuring 5" x 3 3/4".  I lined the frame with a yellow alcohol ink blended background (which is barely visible behind the brick wall).  On a separate sheet of white cardstock I used the Whimsy Brick Pattern stencil and stenciled in the wall using Mahogany Distress Oxide ink.  I die cut the brick wall into a circle.  From a sheet of green cardstock I cut a strip of grass using the Grass and Cloud Edge die.  I adhered the grass along the bottom of the card.  I stamped the dog, doghouse and bowl in Memento Tuxedo black ink on white cardstock and colored in all the images with Copic markers.  I fussy cut each image out and adhered them to the card using 3M foam adhesive.  Using the Puppy Paws die set, I cut the "woof" dies from white cardstock and adhered to the grass using a fine-tip glue pen.  Lastly, I stamped the sentiment in Espresso ink on a strip of white cardstock, notched the left end and adhered it to the card using a Tombow Dot runner.  

Cheers to the plus side and for NOT having to wear a cone of shame even on our "ruffest" days!
​Thanks for visiting and happy creating!
