Dare To Get Dirty Day 3

Good Monday morning. I have a fun pet scene project to share with you today that I made for Anna’s- SweetMissDaisy Dare To Get Dirty challenge. . This one took quite a bit of time but was so much fun and I love the end result.

I stamped the dog image on watercolor paper, painted and cut out. I stamped the ball and bowl images on red cardstock and the bone on white and then cut them out.

My Favorite Things Homespun die set and kraft cardstock was used for the dog house. I cut two houses and scored the to look like board siding and then sponged with brown ink. I cut the door opening using the small Stampin’ Up! tag punch. I hand cut cut the red door frame out of a large tag punch with snips and attached with glossy accents. I crimped the roof to have a shingle look and attached it with mounting tape.  I attached the house front to the house back with mounting tape for dimension and then attached it in front of the  MFT wood grain fence.

I cut the leafy branch trees out of green cardstock and then colored  the limbs and branches with a Distress Ink marker.  I attached the trees to the card base with rolled blue dots.  One layer of the fresh cut grass was applied flat to the card base and the second was attached with mounting tape.  I attached the dog and accessories in place with glue dots and then added a few flowers to the scene to add a touch of softness.  The clouds were an after thought and were slid in behind the branches and attached with rolled up glue dots. The finishing touch was little Papertrey birds in the branches and on the fence.
