You can check it out HERE. But wait! Before you go, why not take a look at these Playful Pups? I am submitting it to the latest Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge, which just happens to be, “It’s a Dog’s Life.” My full instructions are below.

Directions:
1. Stamp the Playful Pups on to Mixed Media Paper with VersaFine Ink.

3. Fussy cut the image.
4. Create a mat around the stamped images with Black Velvet cardstocks, cutting the cardstock using the image as a guide and adhere together.
5. Create the card base out of Caribbean Sea cardstock, cut to the size of 5 1/2″ x 8.”
6. Apply Distress Oxide Ink to craft mat and spritz with water.
7. Drag Instant Dry photo paper through wet ink. Heat set.
8. Dab photo paper in wet ink again and heat set. Repeat until you achieve the desired look.
9. The chalk finish of the Distress Oxide Ink can rub off of this paper, so you may choose to buff it off with a tissue for a more vibrant look.
10. Trim photo paper down to 5 1/4″ x 3 3/4.”
11. Glue the dogs to the photo paper.
12. Attach photo paper to card base.
