That was the challenge for today on Dottie's World. I really loved this one, not only was it a great challenge but I had the chance to play with our new download collection - Animal Magic! This card uses my favourite character from this collection: Scruff! isn't he darling? I love the hand-drawn look, indeed this collection is the first of the "Back to the Drawing Board" collections by Louise Brigden.
Unfortunately the light was not with me and despite taking pictures for two hours I just couldn't get a good one (must buy a daylight lamp!!). Here are a selection of photo's:
Appropriately for Scruff I "scruffed up" the card. Edges have been distressed with Tim Holtz's Paper Distresser and inks have been used liberally (white on the black Bazzill cardstock and black on the white). My "Splash of colour" is the red on Scruff's nose and collar plus three large red Basic Grey Brads.
Products used:
- Scruff from the new Animal Magic collection
- White and Black Bazzill
- White and Black Inks
- Red Basic Grey Brads (From the Cupcake collections)
- Natural Paper Cord
Tools:
- Nestabilites Dies
- Fiskars Treading Water Border Punch
- Floral Screen Cuttlebug Embossing Folder
- Tim Holtz Paper Distresser
Everything is of course available from Charmed Cards & Crafts

I love it! That red nose is ace, you could go forraging for small twigs in the garden and stick them on for antlers to make him look like a fed up, reluctant Rudolf! LOL...hmm, now that's given me an idea!
Ah he is just adorable, looks great on the card. Great job!!
oh I love all the B&W, the scallops and the "scruffing-up! Karen, and the little bits of red really make the card stand out so well.
Wow Karen this is adorable, he is rather scrummy! I love the addition of the red its perfect.
