Small Pooch...big Thanks

Here's Small Pooch (226B) from Poppystamps, sitting under a Twizzle Tree (E1284) created by punching a bunch (a whole bunch!) of circles.  Only Dave could design a tree that makes this possible. ColorBox Fluid Chalk inkpads were used here. There's also a matching envelope liner which - if you enclose the card stamped-side forward - protects the Cherry Red Jewel Stickers while the card is in transit. 

Stamp Twizzle Tree and Small Pooch on on the brown and white checked print from the Butterfield 6x6 Set with Chestnut Roan. Heat-set the images, then color her ears with a Chamois Copic Marker. Stamp Small Pooch again on a lighter section of the same print and cut it out, without the ears.  Attach the cutout to the background and color her collar with a Lipstick Red Copic Marker.  Attach three Memory Box Cherry Red Jewel Stickers to her collar.  

Stamp the circles of the  Twizzle Tree again on a Garden Gate 12x12 print with Chestnut Roan. Punch the sections out using 7/8", 3/4", 5/8", 1/2", 3/8" and 1/4" circle punches.  Glue the circles over the tree on the Butterfield sheet.  

Stamp "thanks" from the Hear Me Roar Clear Set (CL131) on a scrap of the Butterfield print with Warm Red. Punch it into a 3/4" circle.  Punch 7/8" circles from the Garden Gate print and  a cardboard box (a Milkbone box would be great). Layer and glue the circles for dimension, then attach them to the 3-1/4" x 3" background block.  Cut a 7/8" x 3" strip from the striped Butterfield sheet. Edge the strip and stamped piece with Chestnut Roan ink and attach them to a Cranberry Notecard.

Trace the Memory Box Envelope Liner Template onto the Garden Gate print and cut it out.  Slide it into a Cranberry Envelope (if it's a little snug because we're using printed cardstock,  trim a bit off each side).  Glue it to the envelope along the curved edge.  Place a ruler on the crease line of the envelope and score the liner.
