Four Legged Friends WLSC

Hi Everyone, my DT card today is for We Love Stamping. This month, we would love to see your cards with the theme chosen by Pinky of  

Four Legged Friends
  

 A wonderful theme, don't you think? I had to go with bears, as I love this stamp, it's for a friend who loves her washing on the line, blowing in the wind, as I do. Anyhow, I stamped the image and coloured it with DI's, I then cut a "sun" with a flower die twice, it was too big, so I cut each ray, then coloured it with DI's. Next, I die cut the word out of yellow card. 

The image was added to the same yellow card and added to the card base. Then with the sun, and the bears eyes and noses, each was glossed.  When dried, they were added with the stamped and layered sentiment onto the card. 

stamp - Stampendous Laundry Line, House Mouse
inks - Distress Inks list with photo below 
sun die - Craft Making Magic 5 x 7 card & box die set
sunshine die - Crafters Companion
yellow card - Lidl
sentiment Crafters Companion

there were too many colours to write, so took a photo instead.



 
this shows the shine with the gloss

Such a wonderful happy image and card, one can't help but smile looking at it. Nothing more satisfying about washing drying nicely outside with perfect weather for it:-)

Super cute card Faith :-) I love Gruffie and this image is just adorable! Your coloring is fabulous and I lovce the sentiment and sunshine :-)
I agree, hanging washing outside is so much better than tumble drying, it smells better, better for the environment and cheaper, what's not to like! :-)

Thanks so much for joining us on the House Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge!
