Labradoodle

I made this card for a friend who is celebrating her birthday today.  She has a chocolate brown Labradoodle, so this precoloured image was just perfect.

The image is a from a set of digi stamp from Beccy's place, 'Dog Tales' and I added a computer generated sentiment before die cutting with a Memory Box 'Stitched Square'.  I had planned to add a peach coloured mat, slightly bigger than the die cut image square, but I had a Senior Moment and accidentally die cut it the same size.   I was just about cut another one slightly bigger, but then I decided to use the original one and offset it and I quite liked the effect.   The background is embossed with a Creative Expression 'Lattice Pawprint' e/f. I added a strip of the peach card down the side.  The ribbon is cream, so before layering it over the peach card, I backed it with a strip of cream card to keep the ribbon looking cream, although it looks more like white in the photo. 

I am joining in the following challenges:

  7. A great doggy card and very resourceful using the offset layer rather than consigning it to the scraps box.
