This is my circular card for the "Fur or Feathers" challenge, chosen by me on the Artful Times Blog this time. The image is one of my little dog, Oliver, a Cavalier King Charles who is no longer with us. It does not make me sad, it makes me smile as I remember all the happy times we had.
It was a competition run by a stamp making company in America who wanted photographs of your pets. I had this charming photo of Oliver and so I sent it up - imagine my delight when I heard I had won first place - and two rubber stamps were to be made from the photograph and I would get an artists drawing too. This is using the smaller of the two stamps (that has the words on as shown) and I made a small circular card with my Spellbinders die and my Grand Calibur to mount him on.
I also made one for the "feathers" part of the challenge and here is my bird card:
This is a tri-card with a bird stamped behind the aperture which was first of all coloured with my Pan Pastels and then coloured in with watercolours. A tag was stuck on and then a Candi, over the hole in the tag, completed it.
