Pug Love!

I'm a sucker for a cute animal image and look at this little guy! He's one of Mo Manning's digital images called Pug Love. The link to Mo's store is on my sidebar. The image is $3.00. We also have a DT blog where you can see some other examples of Mo's recent images used on cards.I have Riding Hood Red, the regular SU Red, Real Red and Poppy Red. None of them is quite right. So I went with a Kraft card and cream borders. The scalloped circle is Real Red sponged in Walnut distress ink.

The pug is colored with copic markers and then cut from the circle nestability. I leave it in the die and use my dry stencil brush on an ink pad then brush onto the circle. This one is PTI's Aqua Mist then a touch of River Rock (SU retired) to dirty it up a bit. I swirl my stencil brush on the ink pad, then on scrap paper to remove the heaviest of the ink, then go to my project. It takes a few times because you are building the color slowly and softly.

The copics I used are:

E30, E42, E53, E33, E55, E25, E29 and E49 (The darker ones are to give his expressive eyes depth not for the dog's body.

W3, W5, W7 for the black on the face, C7 for his nose

R20 and R30 for the heart and a touch on the cheeks.

Well, it's bedtime for me!

See you soon, I hope! Thanks so much for visiting!
