I'm not too good at rubber stamping, but wanted to make a Father's Day card for my DH from our two doggies LOL

The background is from a Cute Companions CD and the man is a Flippin Men Stamp and the greyhounds are one of Sheena's stamps. They are coloured with Promarkers. I had to scan the images of the dogs after I'd stamped them because they were too large for the card! Thank goodness for graphics programs!

Anyway, I'm very pleased with the result and wanted to share it with you all. Sorry for the poor quality image. I'm not too good at taking photos either! :doh: :blush:

Kind regards,
Beth.

Hi Jan!

Yes it is good to be able to personalize cards for friends and family. Tony (my DH) adores our two greys (and his beer LOL) and I'm so happy to be able to make a card specifically with those elements!

I love rubber stamping and figure that the more I practise the better I will become.

Thanks again for your lovely comments. xxx

Hi Impossible Princess

Thank you for your kind remarks. I really enjoy stamping and colouring in and I'm sure that the more I practise the better I will become. My DH loved the card, especially with the two greys added. We adore our two retired hounds and they give us so much joy and pleasure. xxx
