Penny Black - Stamping with Scooter

Hi everyone.  Today I'm sharing three cards made from one of the sets in the newer release - Stamping with Scooter.  This release is a special one.  It is all about Scooter (part of the Penny Black family) and raising awareness and money for Muttville - a senior dog Rescue.  Please check out this POST to find out all about Scooter and Muttville.

I have done all three cards with a Honeycomb stencil background in bright shades of yellow.  To me, it just says summer. :)  All the main images are watercoloured using blue, red, and gray.  Using the primary colours plus gray, makes these images even more fun. :)

The stamp set I've used is called Paws and Relax (Penny Black 30-832).  It looks as though Scooter has a very special day at the spa!  The card above shows Scooter enjoying  a very pampering bath.  I think we could all use this type of relaxing and pampering after the past 1 1/2 years.

The next card has Scooter stretched out and relaxing after a tough (NOT!) day of pampering.  I would like to swap places with Scooter! :)
The last card show Scooter relaxing some more ... boy he has a great life!  He's catching up with his favourite book while sipping a cup of chicken broth.

I hope you enjoyed these adorable images of Scooter.  I'll be back in a few days with more cards.

I read the story and I'm sure you know it tugged at my heartstrings. Your cards are darling and I believe they illustrate the kind of life Scooter felt he was living. So sweet, sniff sniff.

Your cards made me smile, Loll! SO fun! The second card with Scooter in the lounge chair reminded me of my daughter’s dog who has her very own lawn chair. That one is spoiled. Love the fun primary colors you chose and always a colorful background for your characters.

Adorable cards using those sweet little dogs! Love the one with him reading his book in his dressing gown! Love the backgrounds you created too.

Scooter is the most laid back dog and beautifully colored, Lolly. TFS all 3 of your cards...the bright yellow stenciled background was perfect for a Summer time card:-) Love and Hugs...Nancy

Three fun cards Loll, though I couldn't imagine Max relaxing like that for more than 2 minutes. He's far too involved in what is happening outside! :)

Scooter has quite the life and you've portrayed it very well, Loll.

Marcia Hill said...

OK, I admit I'm a little jealous of Scooter...what a life!! I love how you did the honeycomb on all three cards and the same color palette on all your Scooter images too...what a delightful trio of cards Loll!! Hugs. :0)

Papercraft Boutique said...

You used the honeycomb stencil wonderfully in all 3 different ways, Loll! The bright shades of yellow make the card look so summery and fun! The primary colors and gray worked so great!
Scooter is sooo adorable with your coloring. He's totally relaxed and pampered and he looks so content. I'm jealous!! ;-)
