Loves Rubberstamps Card Challenge - Inspiration Challenge

Eternal Chocolate & Blue Pillow at Kirkland's
















This week's challenge at Loves Rubberstamps is to be inspired by a product  found on this website: www.kirklands.com - be sure to share the product that you were inspired by. This was this photo on the front page, of course it's no longer there. I was inspired by the textures of this bed which had different colors of pillows shown by this picture. It showed blues and browns for the color palette. There was one pillow that was blue and had these fluffy roses all over it but I can't find the photo. This week's Sponsor is Sweet 'N Sassy Stamps.
Anyways I started off using Early Espresso paper for my base which is a 5"x 7" finished card size. The first layer I used a stripe paper from Bo Bunny collection called 'Welcome Home' and for the second layer I used blue/brown paper from the Kaisercraft collection called 'Botanical Odyssey'. So I took a piece of brown linen paper and ran it thru a Stampin'Up embossing folder called 'Fancy Fan'. I then took some shimmery paint and a Early Espresso reinker and painted over the embossed paper. I stamped the Golden Retriever by Impression Obsession using black memento ink. You can find both of these items in Laura's Store here; http://www.lovesrubberstamps.net
I colored the dog using Prismacolor pencils and cut him out using scissors. I then took some white flower ribbon from Michael's and colored them using Baja Breeze reinker and some water to dye them blue. When they were dried, I then took a Baja Breeze marker added some darker highlights. I cut out some dog bones from a paper that I had in my stash. I added some dog sentiment rub ons onto the bones and then highlighted them using some epoxy stickers shape like a bones.
