Happy Retirement

One day I'll learn to say no, when people ask me to make cards for them, especially if they give me combinations of things to include. The brief for this card was, sunsets, dogs and the beach. 

I started off making a sunset with pixie powders, water and a wide brush. It doesn't really show up, but there is a mica shine to the sunset.

I added a strip of blue card to represent the sea and added some glamour dust to it. I cut a strip of kraft card for the beach and added some die cut bits of grass, trimmed down from a strip of grass die to make it look a bit like a sand dune. The dogs and bones are from a Katzelkraft set, I some of them with zig clean colour pens and some with copics and then fussy cut them out. The blue bows were coloured with a spectrum sparkle pen. I die cut the letters with a memory box alphabet die set and then mounted the whole thing on gold mirri card on an 8x8 card to finish. Oops and glossy accents on their eyes and noses!
