No Bones About It, June 1st is Here!

 Greetings! Today I'm sharing a two-fer of sorts. It's my June Love to Craft #59 monthly challenge design team make and Outlawz Color Tuesday challenge guest designer make. I'll be at Outlawz the entire month, sharing makes June 1 (today), June 15th and June 29th. 

Love To Craft challenges are monthly, going live at 4:00 AM Mountain Time on the first day of every month and run until 4:00 PM Mountain Time on the last day of the month. We always play Anything Goes and would love to have you join us! For more details, check the sidebar HERE. 

I followed Outlawz' photo color challenge rules to make my card: black + white + a color in the photo. 

I chose red. The twist is to add spots. I chose the sponsor's Dog with Bone digital image to work with and I kept it as is, printed on Springhill Digital card and no coloring, as I thought that looked best with the color scheme. And it does hold its own -- that dog's expression is just too cute! I made this for my cousin's husband who loves getting my cards and he's a big dog lover too.

   

I used SplitCoastStampers Sketch SC305, keeping it square and resizing to 6x6". I pretty much followed it faithfully, too.

I used a white card stock base and designer papers from Lawn Fawn and Pebbles. The sheet with bones was made by me: I took a piece of black card stock and a Stampers Anonymous stencil by Brett Weldele, inked the card through the stencil using VersaMark, then heat-embossed with white powder. The top circle sentiment by Deep Red Stamps was inked up with Versafine Clair and clear-heat-embossed then punched out, as was its red card stock scrap mat. I created the bottom sentiment in PSE, printed out and cut it with a Lawn Fawn banner die.

   

I created the inside sentiment as well and the back of the card more of both the Lawn Fawn and Pebbles papers. I punched out another red card scrap and stamped the Technique Tuesday siggie in Versafine Clair and clear-embossed it. 

And a final view. I will have another post today after this one, sharing Honey's anniversary card. Thanks so much for dropping by and best wishes for a wonderful day, make no bones about it! heehee XOX
