Stampacular Sunday - Party Animal

A great theme over at Stampacular Sunday this week, they want to see an animal on your stamped creation and here's my very sweet party pooch. I fell in love with this stamp and backing paper whilst out crafty shopping with my friend Kaz recently (although is it just me or does anyone else not want to "use" lovely papers - ooh it was hard cutting in to it!!) and I was itching to ink him up . Anyway the stamp is by Little Claire Designs and I've coloured him with a mix of Stampin' Up! markers & PM's, I've decoupaged the balloon because when I cut out the image with a Nestie, I just chopped the very top of the balloon off - oops, but it looks better now, so a happy accident. The backing paper is by Making Memories, I've used SU! c/s Chocolate Chip, put some of it through my bug with an embossing folder & cut a circle out with a Nestie to layer the sentiment, which is SU! from a "Circle of Friendship".

I really love this card, is it ok to say that? LOL but I love the stamp & the colours & design of the paper and think they work great together.
