This is a Rubber Stampede image stamped on water color paper and once again, colored in with Distress Inks. On Thursday, I watched a video by Julie Ebersole and she did the 'out of the box' technique and so I copied her on this card.
I used a PTI sentiment and another mini stamp from PTI along the edges. The card looks much better in person......hopefully my recipient will like it!!
Here's the inspiration photo:
Note: It's 1:15 AM and 'editing' my post. My mind wouldn't shut off until I got up and added this info. If you're a regular blog reader, you know I try to spread the word on dog rescue and am involved in trying to rescue dogs. Tonight on HBO at 9pm (EST) is a show called "One Nation Under Dog" about the world of dog rescue. The good, the bad, and I'm sure the ugly. I think it will be a VERY informative show on what goes on in puppy mills (where pet store and internet-sold dogs come from), shelters, and the world of dog rescue. I'll have my box of tissues with me because I'm sure it won't be easy viewing...but again - if this info reaches one person who gets a little more educated on the subject, then my lack of sleep will be worth it. Thanks.
Have a great day!!!
Thanks for your visit!

your card is tops! I don't get HBO but I'm with you, down with Puppy Mills!!!!!
Your card is beautiful, Maria! I love the design and love the stamping. Fabulous layering. Love the paper piercing and the stamped border/sentiment at the bottom. Also really like the way the flower image extends off the paper. :)
And thanks for sharing the info on that show. Does sound like it would be a bit difficult to watch, but very informative, too. I wish all that horrible stuff wasn't going on out there......The few times I've gotten a little fur baby in my life, they've always come from the pound or a rescue group....
Your card is gorgeous, it looks like the flowers are just popping off the card. Just beautiful! I am with you on the puppy mill, thing and hope that the show can really explain how that all works. I walk in the morning with a couple that has 5 rescue dogs and they all have something wrong with them, one has an eye missing that type of thing. The dogs are so sweet and loving and I thank God the couple has them. :)
Beautiful!! Love the way you did the image out of the box and the coloring is wonderful. Such a pretty color for the entire card and love the little ribbon tabs on here along with the paper piercing! Fabulous card.
I'll turn in tonight - with tissue in hand too!
