Hello stampy friends! It's time again for another awesome release from Newton's Nook Designs! We're starting the festivities by showcasing "Delightful Doxies" - this set is so stinkin' cute!
I was trying to decide which of the cute doxies to use when inspiration hit - what if I sandwiched the sentiment between two ends of one dog!?! I inked just the first half of the doxie and stamped him, then lined up the sentiment and stamped, and finally, I inked up just the back half and lined that up as best as I could. It came together better than I ever dreamed it would - the loopiness of the font provided the "belly" of my little doxie! I just needed to draw in his back with a fine tipped pen, and voila! He's colored in with Copics, keeping lighter towards the center to make the sentiment more visible. I love finding ways to "stretch my stamps", but this card takes it to another level - ha, ha!!
