For my final autumn card this year I used the second dog in my Inky Antics Autumn Dogs stamp set. Six dies, one embossing folder, two stamp sets, and two patterned papers later I ended up with this scene.
I know, it's a lot.
Honestly, I intended to make a simple card with the dog and Sunrays (Spellbinders) embossing folder. Then along came the Whittle Field and Trees (Poppystamps), an additional rolling hill, a fence, a butterfly because the dog seemed to be looking up at something. I puzzled over where to put the sentiment, and finally made a tag and slipped it under his carefully trimmed and lifted paw. Sheesh. Autumn papers, Tombow coloring on the stamps, brushed and sponged ink on the die cuts and embossing. Oh, and I cut a scalloped circle for the sun just for an extra touch of whimsy.
It will be sent as a Thanksgiving card.
