Jack Russell Joy

Hi everyone

 I just wanted to post a quick card that I will share with the Simon Says Stamp Monday challenge. 

Stamp out 2013 and the Wednesday challenge "Bling it On"

I have 2 Jack Russells and they are my joy. I never thought I could love them as much as I do. They are my fur babies. I found this super cute stamp at Michaels, and I knew it had to come home with me.

I created a splattered/sprayed background using Heidi Swapp's color shine. Using Tim Holtz's holly stencil, I inked in some peeled paint and festive berries distress ink. Then I layered washi tape and glittered tape around the matted image.

I added a tattered banner with the glittered letters. I felt it needed something else, so I created an "ornament" with a circle die cut. It was stamped with the paw print then double embossed with UTEE. The top was cut from the Tim Holtz carved ornaments die.

I colored the Jack to look like my Roxy, using Copics.

Here's Roxy, my model.

And wishing you all peace, love and joy in 2014.  Merry Christmas from me, Laurie "the Rogue Stamper"
