My Impressions: August 2014

Hi everyone,

Today I'm honored to be on the Top Dog Dies blog as a guest designer. Top Dog Dies is a new online store that offers their own brand of wafer-thin and steel-rule dies, along with dies from brands you already know and trust, including Little B, Lawn Fawn, Taylored Expressions, Savvy Stamps and Cheery Lynn Designs. Top Dog Dies is also the leading U.S. retailer for Tattered Lace, a new line of intricate dies designed by British designer Stephanie Weightman.

Before you head over to the Top Dog Dies blog I have a couple of cards to share here on my blog using their Photo Props die set. I thought these dies would be so fun to use to dress up some of the cute critters from Simon Says Stamp's Birthday Farm Animals stamp set. The results crack me up. :)

For the goat, I used the mustache and bow tie dies, coloring them with Spectrum Noir markers and outlining them with a thin black marker.

For the chicken I used the fun glasses and necklace dies, coloring them again with Spectrum Noir markers before adding some Ranger Frosted Lace Stickles.
