Rainbow Bridge I

"Rainbow Bridge" is the first of four sets in my pet sympathy stamp series.  The Rainbow Bridge stamp series is dedicated to my 3 fur babies Howie, Oakie and Scruffy whom I lost all within 6 months of each other.

To make this card I  dampened watercolor paper with plain water and then added distress inks to create the rainbow background.  For the soft splatters I used a wet paintbrush to flick plain water onto the rainbow colors after they had dried. 

While the splatters were drying I heat embossed the dog using Versamark ink and black embossing powder then I fussy cut him out.  I stamped the clouds and colored just the edges with a B00 Copic and fussy cut them too.  I stamped the sentiment with Versafine black ink.

I used a stitched rectangle to cut out the rainbow scene then added my doggie and clouds.  As a final touch I added a rhinestone to the dogs collar and glitter to the clouds.  Oh and I gave the dog dimension with foam tape and glued the clouds directly to the card.
