Birthday Wishes...

Hello everyone!
No challenge today :))
I would like to show you a birthday card that I made for my aunt. She loves dogs and had one herself - a clever little guy, who sadly went over the rainbow bridge two years ago...

To create this card, I used 3 of my Katzelkraft dogs. 

I first stamped the dogs on plain paper to make masks with them. With the help of these masks I could then place the dogs and the grass as you see it on the card. I watercolored with Felt-tip pens. 

The balloons are also made with masks. - I sponged them with three different inks and then stamped half of the sentiment on the biggest one. 

.... the second half is stamped under the belly of the streched dog.

The background is gently sponged with light blue ink. 

My aunt loved this card - maybe you love it too.

Thanks for your visit!
