Birthday Wishes

I recently joined the stamp club at The Stamps of Life.  Stephanie Barnard, the owner and designer of The Stamps of Life creates some very cute images.  The monthly set for October is called Postage2Stamp and can be seen HERE.  One of the stamps is of a cute little puppy which looks so much like my Isabella.

Isn't she sweet?  (NOT...she's a holy terror!)....LOL!
Anyway, back to stamping.  I made this little birthday card for my friend Melissa who had a birthday yesterday.

 The dotted paper is BoBunny.  I used Memento and Stampin' Up inks and colored the little puppy in with some Tim Holtz Distress markers.  A die will be coming out in the shape of the postage stamp later in the month (Stephanie releases new stamp sets on the 1st and 7th of the month with new dies on the 20th).  I cut the postage stamp out and then used a little 1/4 inch round punch to punch out the little rounded edges.  It's not perfect but I'm happy with the way it turned out...but yes, I will be ordering that die! This way of cutting is a little too labor intensive! :)

Here's a closeup of the cute little puppy.  I just love her. 

Happy Crafting!!!
