It's time for another challenge at Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenge Blog where challenges are always Anything Goes and prizes are awarded from one or more sponsors.  Stop by the blog to check it out!

For this challenge, my DT card features a sweet digi from Paper Nest Dolls named Valentine Owen. I like to make gatefold cards when I want a card to have a little extra pow, and they are also so easy to make! Open the gatefold to find Owen’s little friend perched inside with his very personalized (or should I say puppyalized?!) greeting. So fun! 

I’m entering this card into several challenges including Passion for Markers “Favorite Colors”(I've always liked combining brown/tan and blue. But I really l like the addition of red and pink on this card, too. And just like that, I have a new favorite color combo!)

Supplies: 

·   Gate Fold Instructions found Here or Here (YouTube) 

·   Digi- Paper Nest Dolls (Valentine Owen)

·   Colored with Spectrum Noir Classique markers and Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen

·   Puffy Heart Sticker- Stickos

·   Front Sentiment- Freebie from Desert Diva (Will You Be My Valentine?)

·   Inside Sentiment- Freebie from Desert Diva (Woof You)

·   Patterned paper, cardstock, and other items from my stash.

I just had to create another card that features Owen’s pup as the star of his own card! To help the little guy stand out from the bold polka dot background, I used a heart template and metallic silver cardstock to create a frame, which I lined with a scrap of a dark grey plastic index divider sheet. (These are sometimes called document file folders, which come in a pack of assorted colors and can be found in the office supply section of most stores. They're cheaper than colored vellum and more translucent. Punches and dies don’t work on these sheets, but they are easy to fussy-cut with a sharp pair of scissors.) I especially like the way you can see the polka dots from the background paper peeking through the smoky plastic.  Sentiments, photo corners, and one sparkly red sticker finish off the fun card which I sent to my dog-loving sister!

Supplies: 

·   Digi- Paper Nest Dolls (Valentine Owen)
