Creating a background
Hello!
The C.C. Designs Puppy power are new to me, and I just couldn't decide on any one image. So I went with them all and created a background!
I placed the panel in my Misti and placed the stamps randomly - more or less 🙈 By the way, I'm using my Misti because I stamp the images with Simon says stamp Intense black ink. This ink is great with Copics, but doesn't stamp too crisp, so I stamp 2-3 times. I then moved the stamps to cover the whole panel. And then I colored them with my Copics using an obscene amount of brown markers. Don't underestimate the need for brown markers!!! Markers listed below. Once colored in I used a white and black Sakura Gelly pen for highlights and deepening of eyes and smaller details.
To fill out the background I stamped paw printsin Memento Rose bud, as well as bones and balls in black and then colored them in as well. I used the Rose bud ink for the sentiment as well and cut it with a Simple and Basic label die. I cut 2 more labels from white cardstock and inked up the edges with Rose bud ink and then layered them to frame the label.

SletTina, I love this card! Those pups are darling and your coloring is wonderful. I have to say I laughed when I read about the Copic browns, so true, my dear (I'm often embarrassed at how many I pull out for one coloring session). I'm so glad you joined us at Little Red Wagon Challenge this week!
SvarSletI know, right! I try strechting them by blending different color groups or shades. But it still adds up, haha! Thank you so much for you kind words! X
SletReally great job creating a special background design! All of these images are really well-drawn and using so many different puppies really makes this design pop! Very nice job and thanks so very much for sharing it with us at A Place To Start this month! It's wonderful! : )
