Beate’s weekend sketch challenge #47 May 9, 2008

Filed under: my collection — mjalbright @ 9:30 am

Happy Friday!!!  It is time for another one of Beate’s wsc

I cringe when I have to work with ovals.  I’m probably the only stamper who doesn’t own an oval punch or diecut of some sort.  I do have the oval coluzzle, but I really don’t like it.  When I saw that big nice oval on this weekends sketch, I knew I was faced with a challenge…lol  I tried to keep my sample as close as possible to the sketch, but the tag ended up hanging too low. I didn’t want to raise the dog tag up cause you wouldn’t be able to see some of the collar details. 

  I love dogs.  I wanted to try and use every dog image from the MFT set Gone to the Dogs.  Let me tell you — I was masking most of Wednesday evening.  There are 12 dogs….a breed for everyone! 

Couple things:  Collar is Twill Tape dyed with craft ink.  Silver eyelets, closure, and loop to twill to make the collar look sorta realistic.  Silver eyelets to 3 corners with mini brown brads. 

Head on over to the blogs of these extremely talented stampers to see more samples for the wsc:
