Friends Fur-ever Card by July Guest Designer Rachel Alvarado

Hello friends! It's Rachel here with a new post featuring some adorable images from the Puppy Pals Stamp Set.

I wanted the focal point of my card to be the two pups so I kept my card rather clean and simple.  To start, I stamped my images onto a sheet of Neenah Classic Crest Solar White 110lb Card Stock with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, colored them with Copic alcohol markers, and used the coordinating Puppy Pals Die Set to cut them out. (All Copic colors that I used are listed at the bottom of this post).

I then set these images aside and next created my card background. I trimmed a piece of white card stock to 4.25" x 11" and scored it on the long side at 5.5" to create a top-folding A2 card base.  I then trimmed a piece of blue patterned paper from the Sunny Studio Stamps Dots & Stripes Pastel Paper Pad to 4.25" x 5.5" and adhered it to the top of my folding card base. Next, I die cut a piece of smooth white card stock with the stitched rounded rectangle die from the Frames & Flags Die Set and lightly blended it with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink.

I then stamped my sentiment on the bottom center of my card and adhered this piece to my card base with some 3D Foam Adhesive Tape for added dimension. Lastly, I added my images with some more 3D Foam Adhesive Tape for even more dimension.
