Today we were to use a charm on our card. My sweet sister sent me a bunch of charms that I, for the like of me, cannot find at this moment. So, the words....make you own...stuck in my head.......details.....
While looking for the charms I came across some thin metal sheets I must have bought a long time ago and don't know why. BUT they worked perfectly for my dog tag. I just got this new Magenta dog stamp and it had a dog tag. So I stamped it, cut it out and colored it red with a copic pen. You see Rosco dog's name tag is red plus he is red too. So I made my tag red. LOL See where I am getting my inspiration from!
The set also came with a flower stamp, but no stem or leaves so I added them. The cloud is from Rosie's Roadshow.
I did all my coloring with copics except the sky was stippled with acrylic paints. To be totally honest with you here, I used blue paint for the sky but when I took the picture it came out yellow green. The settings on my camera are all screwed up and I am going to have to READ the instructions so I will know how to fix it.....hopefully. Used another camera, but I liked this picture better even tho it doesn't have the doodling on the edges, but it has more color to it.
The title is in reference to a certain SCS, and she knows who I mean, mentioning yesterday about certain sister stampers being in the dog house. As you can see, there is NO DOG HOUSE HERE, Miss you know who you are!
Well, sorry about that, hope you like this little ATC card and my red made charm......TFL :0)

Just because you dont see a dog in your mind doesnt mean one doesnt exist. Trust me on this one, Nutmeg. So you like Magenta images, huh? Miss Apple from Canada does as well. I can never to seem to find anything that I could color, not that I can color anyway. I got that out before you did!!!!
Sweet dog with no dog house. How unkind is that? Love what you did to the sky and those sunflowers, too. Even your handmade dog tag is pretty nifty! Very sweet card today, Nutmeg.

BTW, wanted you to know that I attempted to recreate your pool scene card with the images you sent. I just couldnt color them; I used markers but the ink from I presume your printer ran with all the colors. I scanned them and will try again. This time when they come out of the printer, I think I'll try the heat gun to see if that helps. Did you hand draw those images? Wow, I guess when you're good, you're good.

You've gone to the dogs...getting inspiration there. I love your card with the sweet puppy and wonderful flower, grass, and clouds. Looks just like my kind of day...hot and full of sun. Love your sweet card AND the charm is just perfect.
