I saw this picture of a penguin ice skating and it reminded me of this ice skating dog stamp I have. So, that is where this card began. This was so much more fun and relaxing to do than the card I made yesterday for my DD under her watchful eyes! I love her dearly, BUT....... anyway, here are the brief details........
Stamped and clear eb my image, colored the dog with w/c pencils but his scarf with re-inkers. Drew the "ice rink" under the doggie, stippled pacific point then brushed on pearlizing medium. Stippled the green around for foggy grass. Since it is a winter type scene, I stippled the sky basic gray. (which just happens to be one of today's colors.)
Stamped the snowflakes with versa mark and white eb them. Added the other white dots with a stylus and white acrylic paint. Sponged the edges and doodled them.
Popped this panel up on top of a white card that I sponged pacific point on. Well, that's about it. Hope you like it........TFL :0)

This is precious, Nutmeg! Skating on ice ... is that the real you or what? Love your painting - it's just phenomenal! I'm telling you - you missed your real calling in life!

Cathy this is sooo cute! I have this stamp and just finished a card with it but can't upload yet because I need new batteries for the camera. Your coloring is just fabulous and I love how you gave him the skating line along with the wonderful snow!!
