When All Else Fails

If you're having a 'typical' Monday, this card's for you!  Or maybe it's later in the week and you're still having 'A Monday', this card's for you!

I enjoy the sentiments from Beccy's Place almost as much as her images and this one is another great one!  

Unfortunately, it's on her retirement list, along with a long list of other amazing packages.  I wish I could have ordered all of them!

This cute puppy is from Dog Tales. 

 

After sizing the image to just under 3" and printing, I colored him with my Copic markers.  Then I hand cut him our leaving about an 1/8" border and set him aside. 

The card base is a standard A2 size.  I love the animal print paper I ran across for the background.  I ran it through the machine using Darice's Paw Print embossing folder then secured it to the card base.

The die I used is actually a 'frame' die but I wanted the puppy to have the brown behind him also, so I just secured the rectangle back inside the frame.  I added fun foam to the back of the puppy's head, tail, and top part of his body and then secured him to the center of the die cut brown frame. 

The sentiment is from the same 'Dog Tale' package from Beccy's Place, printed and die cut with Gina Marie Designs Drop Pendant die.  It is also raised with fun foam and then secured to the card front to complete the card design.
