You know when sometimes you need a special card that requires you to go outside your
normal boundaries?? Well this is one of those, not very CAS and needing a background scene...
One of my friends who is a dog groomer, and all round dog lover, has decided to hang up her clippers to pursue other interests and I wanted to send her a card..... so although some of these hounds wouldn't need a trim, I had to include them all!!
It had to be a long, narrow card and they needed a scene to hang around in so I used a wall stencil to trace through and drew a wooden plank fence. I coloured the dogs and scenery with Polychrome pencils then trimmed the dogs out with scissors and arranged them on my card.
It was great fun thinking about the colours and markings... my favourite is the brindle chap in the centre although the black and tan Chihuahua is a cutie too :)
Thanks for stopping by :)
