I created an inspiration card using the following products:

To make this card, I used the following distressed inks to create the rainbow background: Festive Berries, Carved Pumpkin, Mustard Seed, Twisted Citron, Peacock Feathers and Salty Ocean. Doxies are generally darker in color, but they do come “marbled,” too. I took some liberties with this one and made him white with black spots. I think he looks like he could be a different breed. I like the contrast of the black and white with the rainbow. The kite was colored in rainbow colors using Copics. I die cut a piece of black craft foam to fit perfectly underneath to “pop” the doggie and kite up off the white oval in the middle. I added black stitching around the oval with a black marker to create a finished look and stamped the word “Celebrate” in black ink. This is a 5″ X 7″ card so the stencil does not cover the entire card front. By adding the white band at the bottom finished with a strip of pattern paper in black and white stripe, it gave me white space for the word to pop off the card.
