Lucky Dog

Hi friends, Debbie here with the new Valentine’s Day/St. Patrick’s Day Release! When I saw the new Lucky Holder Addition Dies I knew I had to bring out one Lucky Dog with the Dog Holder Dies!

I started off by die-cutting out a few of the items from the Lucky Holder Additions, because he is so lucky he needs more then one horseshoe in his paws! 

As I wasn’t completely sure on what color I wanted the dog to be. So I started off by ink blending the Layered Lucky Items Stencil onto a standard A2 panel. With the stencil layer A over the panel on a grip mat, I ink blended on green for the shamrocks and in the one stripe of the rainbows, black ink for the pot of gold! Then with the Layer B I applied a thin layer Gold Glitter Paste, set it to the side to dry.

I knew now that I wanted the Dog Holder Dies to be a white dog with a black spot over the one eye. Giving him a little shading with gray ink blending on the outer edges for some dimension. Add a little rosy cheeks and Onyx Pearls for the eyes. 

Next, with the largest Pinking Rectangle Dies I die-cut it out some gold vellum in my stash. This will make the Dog Holder stand out but you can still see the Lucky Items on the panel. 

Then with the Lucky to Know You stamp set I stamped and gold heat embossed the “I’m so Lucky to know You” and die cut out the “Lucky” with the coordinating dies. And for the remaining sentiment stripes I used the Sentiment Strips Die Set to cut them out. 

I adhered it all together and attached to the vellum Pinking Rectangle. Then one the back side I had places to hide the  liquid glue when attaching the vellum to the panel. 

Then final touch I added the clay shamrocks from the Lucky Mix to the center of the die-cut shamrocks. And then add white highlights and Glossy Accents to the nose.

Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!
