Good Monday morning. I have a fun doggy card to share with you today. When I first saw the new Impression Obsession Dog Set I knew I wanted to create a dog house scene with them using the Brick House set. It may be a little too big in relationship to the dogs but I like it anyway. I used the new Upper Case Alphabet Plain set to spell out DOG. I’m listening to a book on my drive to and from work right now with a man that has a dog that he named Dog. LOL! Anyway, I also used the Clouds set, Fence Trio, Bird Set, Tiny Flowers, Leafy Branch, Grass Border and Small Grass Border. Yes….I almost threw in everything but the the kitchen sink.
I started by painting the house, roof and door opening with crackle paint. I understand that Ranger is retiring crackle paint and it makes me sad because I love it. I heard there is another plan to replace it but I’m not sure what it is. Do you?
I colored the dogs with black and brown Copic markers in hopes that I could make them look like Dobermans. From there I began layering the house and fence on to the card base. I cut the grass and foliage and attached the flowers with glossy accents. I tucked the tree in behind the house and attached with glossy accents and a few rolled glue dots,
I popped the clouds up in the sky with mounting tape and attached the birds on the house and in the sky with glossy accents.
I cut thin strips of red cardstock to put on the neck of the dogs for their collars and attached with glossy accents. I added tiny gold punched circles on the collars for their tags for the finishing touch. All responsible dog owners should have tags on their dogs.
I hope you have a great week. Thanks for stopping by.
Card size: 5.5” x 4.25”
FUN card! Like the dogs, great coloring. The flowering tree is nice. When I was about 7, I named my first pet, a black cat, KAT. I remember thinking that was cool because I spelled it with a “K.” Hee! 🙂
Kittie, this is so dang cute…. I’ve been eyeing the dog dies and now you’ve helped me make the decision…. and look, more tiny flowers…..lol…. Thank you for sharing your wonderful creativity…..
It’s a lovely scene ! I love it !
Love the dogs with their house – great!
For some reason, I believe you are a cat person so I really appreciate this card and you for being an equal opportunity animal fan! 2 2 cute!
Although I do love cats and have had several myself, I guess I’m really a dog person at heart so this card really appeals to me. It’s fabulous, Kittie! Your dobbies turn out perfectly.
LOL at “All responsible dog owners should have tags on their dogs”!!
Well you certainly pulled it off with your Dobermans….so realistic! Love them and the entire card. When looking at the die set I thought the dog lying down looked like a horse…truly a dog…you always bring the animals alive.
Sweet card! Your creations are truly little works of art. TFS 😉
what a great scene Kitty. You sure make any die look good. 🙂
Great job on the Dobermans Kittie…even little collars and tags…love your details.
This is a beautiful, fun doggie card. I am a dog person! I love this card. Your dobbies turned out very realistic, Dobermans are beautiful dogs. I think the dobbies have a dog mansion, although there are two of them. Our dog is 14 years old, not a dobbie, she is part german shepherd, she is our baby. Thank you for sharing this fun, inspiring doggie card today. It made me smile!

Kittie, I forgot to say that Ranger has clear rock candy crackle paint. You can add any paint colours you like to it and make your own colours. They are discontinuing the paints because they dried out and became solid too quickly. I had that problem with it. I hope this info helps you.

Good Morning, Kittie an Happy Saint Patrick’s Day.
I don’t think that dog house is , to big. Dobermans aren’t small dogs, and it made me think of the large dog house we had at one time for our Labrador an Beagle. the small Beagle used to take over the house and the poor Lab would be out of luck.even when it rained. Funny to watch. I really like your creation , just gorgeous with lots of colors, texture, and love. the whole scene is loving with details……have a good day…. maybe even some corned beef and cabbage…..LOL
Wow, Kittie, those Doberman’s are spot on! Amazing! Every little detail is fabulous, down to those amazing collars! What an adorable card!
Oh my goodness, you have made the dogs look EXACTLY like Dobermans! Wow, it’s uncanny. I love the house and the whole scene, the doghouse is not too large since there are two dogs! The placement of every element is so perfect. Another home run! LOL You are just amazing. 😀
Kittie, you did a fabulous job with this card. The Doberman dogs look like real Dobermans. I LOVE the house. I am sorry to hear about the crackle paint being discontinued. Doesn’t this always seem to happen to things you hold near and dear to your heart? TFS.
