Here they are the Erpup brothers, Wyatt and Morgan. They're about to put their cards on the table or perhaps pull a card from up their sleeve..in any case one of these brothers will be cashing in their chips soon. I hope no one was dealt a bad hand.
I had to make a mirror image of the stamp on the left side. If there's a tutorial for it I gave up looking . Here's my version of mirror stamping... I stamped my image on the rubber sheet I use to shim my Cuttlebug and then I press the paper on top. It turned out pretty well although I had to fill in with a black sharpie where the lines were lighter. I added the ribbon as trim since this scene does take place in a fancy saloon. Of course I had to have the obligatory "dogs playing poker" picture in the background (ok it's still cracking me up that I thought of that..)..anyway...hope you like these "pup" brothers.

This is too funny Polly. First off, I love the fact that you actually have a stamp of a dog playing cards (ignoring for the moment Sabrina's Snoopy-playing-cards stamp) -- your reflection stamping is amazing, btw; I'm not positive which one it was because they both look perfect. Also love that you took the time to print out the dogs playing poker painting for the wall. Hey, if you're going to decorate a saloon, you might as well do it right.

Polly, you did a fabulous job with the mirror stamping! The card shark brothers are scary. I'm glad I decided to play bingo! I love how you decorated the saloon and the picture on the wall! This is an awesome card!

Oh, Polly, this is a riot - love the poker faced pups, and I was tickled to see the picture on the wall behind them of the poker playing dogs! You really had a great idea and I am so glad you "ran" with it to make this fun card!!
