For my stamping friends who love dogs, or who stamp cards for friends who have dogs, today’s project is for you! This project features both the Doggone Friendly large background stamp and the new Comforting Thoughts stamp set:
I just love the pairing of this particular sentiment with this fun image. The Doggone Friendly stamp is actually quite large, covering the entire card front. The technique of just coloring part of the image to make it stand out is called spotlighting, and it’s a great technique for very large images.
I did still use the size of the image to stamp a tone-on-tone background. I quite like the contrast of the muted doggos with the cheerful, colored in ones.
To color in the dogs, the Natural Tones Blends are very useful. This is a set of ten blends, from light to dark, perfect for skin tones, animal furs, and sepia images.
