What Does Your Pet Really Think?

 

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

Please join me and welcoming back Thom Santilla as our guest designer for the month of November. Welcome back Thom! 

It's our first challenge of the month and this month we are highlighting the wonderful and creative products of AALL and Create.

This week the challenge is: THINKING OF YOU

Do you ever wonder  about what your pets think about you? Here is my quirky interpretation of some of they might be thinking about. Of course, I had to include my grands = pups and kitties on this tag!

I began by covering a large tag with some Dina Wakley collage paper.

Next, I stamped in watercolor the images of the cats and dogs. Then I fussy cut this out to add to the tag.

 

I played around with several positions until I got the cats and dogs in the mix that I wanted.

I am thinking of this pup as my little Rowan. He thinks he is an angel, but he is full of mischief! 

 And this would have to be Nessie, a very sweet and lovable girl, who doesn't know how big she really is!

Aren't our pets always thinking of us? There is always something they want...from treats to cuddles. 

The kitty with the long neck would have to be Phoenix, a Siamese, and the kitty with the butterfly would be sweet little Rose. 

A new pup photos to share...the kitties are shy. 

 So, next time you are curious about what your pets are Thinking of You...put together your own tag of ideas.

PARTRIDGE IN A PEAR TREE

 I stenciled bubbles onto the card using Simon's Ocean ink and a blending brush.

I stamped a few random snowflakes into some of the bubbles.

I cut an outline of a partridge using black cardstock.

, as well as some branches for the tree.

I drew a pear onto watercolor paper, added paint, and some gold splatter, then once dry, I added detail with a black pen.

Stamped Season's Greetings...

Another holiday card done! Final step was to add some doodle lines to frame it all.
