I stamped this image, 3 different stamps using Stazon timber brown ink onto shimmer white paper using the stamp-a-ma-jig and imaging sheets for the placement of each image. I stamped the Briard onto apricot appeal a second time and colored him with creamy caramel and the aqua brush, then went over him again with pumpkin pie re-inker and aqua brush. I then cut him out with tiny scissors and mounted him in his spot. For the barefoot boy I stamped him again on so saffron paper with stazon timber brown and colored his shirt for shading with so saffron re-inker. I then stamped the boy again on whisper white, colored in his legs with blush blossom. I saved this pece for after I matted to picture to bring his legs "outside the box". I also stamped his hat onto creamy caramel with stazon timber brown, cut it out and glued it onto him.This was fun but very time consuming. The most time consuming was gettin my d.h. to help w/ the matting!

This is absolutely wonderful!!! I just love how he is walking into the picture, so to speak, by the way you mounted him outside the box -- totally genius thinking!!! Wonderful work and worth every minute of your time!!! I am so glad you played and shared this with us -- thanks so much!!!
