Paper:  All from my stash

Stamp: Seasonal Sentiments (Honey Bee)

Ink: Black Licorice (MFT)

The Paper Players #798

Hello, friends!  I’m back to share a fun card for this week’s The Paper Players Challenge.  Stef gave us a new color challenge, and I immediately knew what I wanted to create - a doggie card!  I’ve had this idea in my head of creating a card with a doggie holding a balloon, and these colors were perfect for it.  I used some teal twine to mimic the doggie holding the balloon.  I love how this little pup turned out!

Paper: All from my stash

Stamp: Sending Smiles (Hero Arts)

Ink: Black Licorice (MFT)

Accessories: Teal Twine (Home Goods), Images cut with the Cricut Maker
