My card is created using the Pizza My Heart stamp set by SugarPea Designs.  This little guy was stamped on Neenah Solar White paper and colored with a variety of Copic Markers.  The background brick wall is cut using the Zig Zag Stitched Rectangle Dies and the circle is cut using the Zig Zag Stitched Circle Dies.  A few enamel dots were added for fun.  Wink of Stella is used to creat shine.

I cut these adorable dogs using the matching die Rain or Shine by Sunny Studio.  Glossy accents were added to their boots for lots of shine.  A white gel pen is used for their eyes.  A black gel pen is used on the buttons.  Lots of Wink of Stella is added to their coats and hats and the raindrops for shine.  The sentiment is stamped in black Versa Fine Ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder.  I used dimensionals to adhere the dogs on the panel.

My top layer is cut using the Wonky Borders  from Avery Elle.  The rainbow of paint stripes was created using WPlus 9 Ink Splats.  I used my Misti and lots of different colors of Distress inks to create the stripes.  Then, I rubbed different shades of reds, pinks and oranges on a strip of white and used the die "Create" from Simon Says Stamp.  I cut it four times in black to add dimension behind the top layer. The sentiment "A Little Bit of Sunshine" from Simon Says Stamp was stamped in Momento black ink.  Wink of Stella was added to the "create" die cut to add lots of shine.
