IHP & Market Street Stamps Blog Hop!

Welcome to the i {heart} papers and Market Street Stamps combined teams blog hop!  We're so excited to have you join us, and we know you're in for a real treat!
 
You should have arrived here from Lori Tecler’s blog.  If not, visit Kate's i {heart} papers blog to start from the beginning.  You'll go from there to the blogs of our designers and finish up at the Market Street Stamps blog.  If you get lost, both company blogs have the complete list of links.
 
Now, about my card…
 
IHP-1211-MSS-Challenge
My project today showcases this adorable pup from the Pawprints on our Hearts  set from Market Street Stamps. I stamped him onto ivory cardstock and then colored him with Copic Markers and cut out the image.  I stamped the ears again on a piece of scrap paper and cut those out – and popped them up using Foam Dimensional Pop Dots – giving it some fun dimension.

I gave this sweet pup a little glossy nose by adding some black enamel and a leash from some fun brown burlap.  I DO love this pup…and being such a big DOG fan, I can see myself using this set quite often, as it’s customary for our family to send cards to one another from our dogs.  DON’T laugh…we are a family who consider our pets as much a part of the family as any one else.  Yes – we are strange group!  HA!
