Hello and thank you for viewing one of my latest cards. This card was made using an Inkadinkado ink set and K&Co. Brenda Walton's "Mira" Collection Designer Mat Pack. I love this designer paper...it is so vibrant and bold!!
The chihuahua was stamped twice on Paper Trey White Cardstock with Adirondack Pitch Black ink. I colored both images with Prismacolor Pencils and blended with Mineral Spirits. One image was stamped and punched out with a 2" Marvy Round Punch, then I sponged the edge with SU! Green Galore and Glorious Green. I then doodled red dots around the edge with a Sharpie Pen. The second image that I stamped was colored in the same manner as the first stamped image, and cut out and popped up on Dimensionals. The red circular mat was punched out of a red patterned, coordinating paper with a Marvy Mega Round Punch. I doodled Mexican style symbols with a White Signo Gel Pen. The third round mat was made with matching, patterned orange paper and punched with a Marvy Giga Scallop Punch. I doodled dots around the scallop edges with a Red Sharpie Pen. The potted cactus was stamped with Adirondack Pitch Black and colored with Prismacolors and blended with Mineral Spirits, then cut out (and cutting those sticker out was fun!) and popped up on dimensionals.
The sentiment was stamped on to the dp direct with Adirondack Pitch Black. All 3 circular mats were popped up on dimensionals. I embellished with 2 Cherry Red medium sized brads from American Crafts. And tied it up with a Doodlebug Limeade Gingham Ribbon bow.

iMuy bien mi amiga!
The doggy reminds me of our neighbor's dog named Jellybean. They used to also have a chihuahua named Taco Bell! Very cute card. I think I might need some enchiladas now!

A a proud owner of a very spoiled chihuahua, this card brought a smile to my face!! Her face looks like my little Roxy when she knows she is going to get a treat. Great card!
