The challenge is to decorate with stamps where we would normally add hardware. I added the paw prints where I would normally put brads. This works very well for our Keiki Cards donations because the price of postage has gone up and we have been asked to keep our cards from becoming to bulky.
Good challenge Jen!
The dog is just stamped with StazOn black and the collar is colored with gel pens.
The sentiment panel is one large image which has the center punched out popped up on two more punched out thin cardstocks pieces glued together and a section cut out to accommodate the doggie panel. This is still low enough not to be considerate bulky postage rate but gives the card some character. All other pieces are flat to the card. The black is thin enough that a extra under layer isnÂ’t needed for the doggie panel to lie even on the card.
A little ink distressing after the paw prints are stamped on and itÂ’s finished in about fifteen to twenty minutes. I also did yellow, blue and green using the same designer paper and changing gel pen colors for the collar.

Great job. I love the way the the sentiment and the image come together. That is a neat effect. The paws are a good choice for faux brads. This is a great card. TFS
