Our Four Legged Friends

 

 Hello Monday, my friends! And welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge. Thank you for joining us for the  Add a Sentiment  Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too.

It's been great having Laura with us this month! I know you have enjoyed her awesome makes as much as I have. Looking forward to seeing more of your creations, Laura! 

This week the challenge is: FOUR LEGGED FRIENDS

What a fun challenge this week! It was a toss up between the cats and dogs, and this time the dogs won. I made a trio of Artist Trading Cards to share with you this week.  

 

 Here's my inspiration for this week's challenge - my "grandpups" Rowan (Mr. Fluffy) and Nessie. They are super adorable, spunky and full of frolic...unless they are waiting for treats and they will wait patiently. (well, for a bit at least...) I just love these two!

I began with stamping the images onto the illustration board and watercolor paper.

Next, I colored the images with Tombow Markers. 

I added some fun backgrounds with Tracy's stamps.

 I fussy cut the accessories to add.

C'MON MA!

How many of you have dogs that look at you like this when you put the food bowl down and tell them to wait? 

PARTY ANIMAL

You know if you have a party pup - they bounce all over the place, they are the first ones to greet strangers, and fun around in circles chasing their tails. 

BAD TO THE BONE 

You know the one that steals other dogs bones, or eats their food? The one that can't stand for another pup to get the attention it deserves? Yes, this is the one.

BAD TO THE BONE, PARTY ANIMAL and C'MON MA! 

I had fun creating my 4 legged trio of pups, and being just a bit silly.
