and the theme for this week is...
PETS CORNER
I decorated a kraft bag to contain birthday treats for Buddy's best friend Slim...they've been the best of pals since they were puppies...two hooligan bundles of golden deliciousness always getting into mischief and have both inherited that "obsession with food" gene that all golden retriever owners will identify with...
I started off by cutting paper from Tim Holtz Dapper Stash Pad to be slightly smaller than the front of the paper bag and die cut the Ring Frame Die from Simon Says Stamp from co-ordinating paper...
I stamped the images again on to co-ordinating paper...the dog with Black Archival and the accessories with Versamark and heat embossed with Ranger Fine Detail Embossing powder...coloured with Distress Markers...cut them out and fixed in place adding Glossy Accents to the bone...dog bowl...eyes and nose of the dog...
highlighted the circles with a Signpo Uniball White Pen and created faux stitching with Ranger's Black Fude Pen...
It goes without saying that Slim will enjoy his birthday bag but he may not be so slim after munching his way through all the treats.
