Where, Oh Where Has My Little Dog Gone? A Sweet Summer Card
Hello friends!
I'm sharing a handmade SweetMissDaisy Designs card created for this week's Splitcoaststampers Free for All Challenge. The theme is Nursery Rhymes or Children's Songs, and it immediately brought one little tune to mind!
I used the adorable pup from the Beachside stamp set by SweetMissDaisy Designs. As I colored this happy beach-going pup, I couldn't stop humming, "Oh where, oh where has my little dog gone..." I guess he decided to spend the day at the beach! 😂
Process
To create my clean and simple design, I added a 2-inch-wide strip of Citrus patterned paper from SweetMissDaisy Designs along the left side as a colorful vertical border. Next, I stamped the beach pup image onto a scalloped circle die cut, colored it with alcohol markers, and popped it up using recycled plastic packaging for dimension.
To finish the card, I popped up the sentiment, "Happy Summer! Fetch Some Fun!" for an extra layer of interest while keeping the overall design clean and cheerful.
If you'd like to recreate this look, you can find the stamps and papers I used over at the SweetMissDaisy Designs Shop.
You can easily adapt this handmade card design using your favorite stamps, patterned papers, and coloring techniques. Cardmaking is a wonderful way to share creativity while sending something meaningful and handmade. I hope this project inspires you to create your own handmade summer cards!

I'm also joining the #ArtNudge 626A Challenge with this card. I used many of the colors from the inspiration photo and kept the beach theme with sand and sea, although I didn't include the beach chairs or large umbrella. ArtNudge is a fun link-up challenge with a chance to win a prize, so be sure to check it out if you enjoy creative challenges!
