More Fun with Barkley

Crafter's Companion Everyday with Barkley "Special Friend"

Barkley truly is an adorable pup and is such fun to color.  I had a great time with all the Christmas stamps that Crafter's Companion had of Barkley and now I am enjoying his Everyday collection.  With this particular card I was, again, attempting a new technique - Inked Die Cuts (which I learned from Becca at Amazing Paper Grace).  I had fun learning this technique and have since bought myself (FINALLY) a new set of dies that I have already started to use.  Learning new techniques and playing with new stamps is so much fun!!

I did not add this card to the collection of cards that I was making for my mom, but I guess I could have as it is not at all "childlike".  I will post the images of the cards that I made for her since I have completed them all and mailed them off.  Hopefully she likes them.

The following is the list of Spectrum Noir markers I used for this image.

Barkley - BG1, IG1, IG5, IG6, IG8, IG9, CR2
Cat - GB1, LY2, BG1, CR1, CR2
Hammock - CR11, DR1, DR2, DR5, DR6, blender
Flowers and Leaves - CG1, CG2, DG3, CR5, PL1, PL2, PL3

I also used Cuttlebug's Swiss Dot's embossing folder and Basics by Kaisercrafts Pearls to add some dimension to the card.
