Today I'm sharing a card that was inspired by the gorgeous mix of terracotta and blues over at The Color Throwdown and the current sketch layout over at CAS on Friday:
I thought those colours would be perfect to break out an Online Exclusive set I've had a little while but not yet broken the seal on; perfect for a sausage dog, don't you think? Take a look at what I came up with:
Here's the low-down on today's card:
OK, so how cute is the sausage dog in the 'Long Time, No See' stamp set?! The llama too, for that matter! So many fun creative possibilities with this set. I did get more creative than you might have expected with the CAS on Friday sketch, but bear with me; if you turn the sketch through 90 degrees, add a piece of Timeless Plaid paper to ground my sweet sweater-wearing pup, then the dog itself is the narrower horizontal element. It works, right? I coloured him with my Stampin' Blends, adding my punny sentiment in the same line to keep my card clean and simple:
Of course the front of that cute pup must be somewhere ... cue inside:
And voila - a clean and simple belated birthday card that is so cute it's sure to go some way to making up for its tardiness as far as the recipient is concerned!

Enjoy your day; mine is a day filled with household chores, but the sooner they're done, the sooner I get some time to craft later in the week, so time to crack on! I'll be back tomorrow with another project for our new challenge over at CAS Colours & Sketches. Until then, happy stampin'!
