Inky Paws Challenge #201 ~ Sketch Challenge

 Hello there crafty friend!

Who's up for a new challenge?! It's time to get our paws inky with a fun sketch challenge! I sure do love a good sketch! I hope you have a blast with this one. I sure did! You have until Friday, July 7th to get your entries in for the #201 Sketch Challenge and a chance to win a $20 store credit to Newton's Nook Designs!

I wanted to play with a stamp that I hadn't played with yet. And since I tend to play more with my kitty stamps I thought it was time to ink up one of the pup stamps.

I just love this cute doxie stamp from the Rainy Day Doxie Stamp Set. So cute!! I had so much fun coloring it up with my Copic markers. I stamped it with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Stampers Select White card stock from Papertrey Ink. I also stamped the pup on a post it note and fussy cut just the bottom portion for a mask. I masked my pup and stamped the puddle. I also stamped a couple splashes coming off of the puddle, but the mask wasn't necessary for that part. Now if you don't like fussy cutting you could stamp the puddle on a die cut oval panel and stamp the pup on a scrap of card stock. Die cut the pup using the Rainy Day Doxie Die Set and then just adhere it on the puddle creating your scene that way.

I paired up the cute Rainy Day Doxie Stamp Set with the Springtime 6x6 Paper Pad. I just had to use the rain drop papers for this card. My bottom polka dot layer measures 4-1/4 x 5-1/2". The rain drop layer measures 3-7/8 x 5-1/8". The flower papers measure 3-7/8 x 2" and the purple polka dot paper measures 3-7/8 x 3/4". I adhered the purple polka dot paper to the bottom portion of the flower paper and then adhered all of my layers to a white A2 top fold card base measuring 4-1/4 x 11"; scored at 5-1/2".

Once the pup was colored up I die cut him with the third largest oval die from the Oval Frames Die Set. I also stamped the sentiment with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and die cut it using the smallest circle from the Circle Frames Die Set. I adhered the sentiment to the oval and then added a bunch of foam tape to the back of the oval and circle and popped up my focal piece on the card. 

Here's a quick list of the Copic Markers I used for this stamp:

Doxie Pup ~ E21, E23, E27, N2, N3, N6

Raincoat ~ BG0000, BG10, BG15, Y06, Y35

Umbrella ~ V000, V12, V15, RV000, RV10, RV21, RV13
