Today I’m sharing a card using KLM Digital Design – Little Girl Gnome & Pup from the new June 2024 release that I made. This image also comes with 2 more sentiments, “you’re so doggone cute!” and “I wuff you”. All my life, I grew up with pets. They always brought so much joy and laughter to the home and were all so unique!

To make this card, I began with a 5.5″ x 4.25 base card using Hammermill – Premium Cardstock 110 lb.. Recollections – Black cardstock was cut to the same size as the base and was adhered to the card using double-sided tape. Hammermill – Premium Colour 100 lb. cardstock was cut to the same size as the base. I spritzed the front and back of the cardstock and then using Kraftin’ Kimmie – Pawprints 2 stencil, a rubber mat and my Cuttlebug, I embossed the paper. With the stencil still in place on the paper, using Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Black Soot and Tim Holtz Distress Inks – Candied Apple and small blending brushes, I inked the pawprints and hearts. Once this was done, I cut the paper to the size of 5-3/8″ x 4-1/8″ and adhered it to the black background using double-sided tape.

The image and sentiment were imported into Microsoft Word and printed out onto Copic Marker X-Press It Blending Card. The image and sentiment were coloured in with Copic markers. The freckles were applied to the cheeks using Gelly Roll Sakura #8 Pen and the eyes and nose for the dog were added using a Sakura Glaze – Black pen. Gelly Roll Sakura #8 Pen was applied for the dot in the eyes and accent on the nose for the dog.

My Creative Time -Stitched Squares Inside and Out was used to die cut the image. I applied a border around the image and sentiment using Recollections – Black cardstock. U-Line Double-Sided Foam Tape was applied to both the image and sentiment and they were centered on the card.
