We're celebrating PETS this fortnight at Shopping Our Stash, so we'd like to see a card featuring a critter you might designate as such. Before you see my card and think, "I doubt anyone has bears and giraffes as pets, Lauren!" please note, there is a doggy in the back seat!
One of my favorite things about SOS is the fact that older products are not only ok, but actively encouraged! Having said that, I didn't realize that Simon Hurley's (2020ish) Road Trip stamp set was out of print at Ranger* until I started writing this up; but I still love it and it fits the challenge. I like to paper-piece the car, but to color the critters; so I stamped the whole thing twice... (once on plaid paper** backed with cardstock and once on plain white cardstock) ...and layered the finished pieces. I'm pretty confident ALL of the scraps and partial pieces of patterned paper I used are out of print, too, actually. Muppets fans may enjoy the fact that, being in a hurry, these guys are traveling by map!!!
You, however, don't need to hurry, because SOS573: Man's Best Friend runs until the evening of Monday, May 18th. Hop over to SOS to see what the rest of the Crew have made and to link your own pet-centric creation! ♥
*I did still see a few available in various online stores, so if you love the cute critters in their little retro car, you might be in luck.
**Note to auto manufacturers worldwide: I would happily buy an ACTUAL plaid car. Just puttin' it out there...
Your paper piecing is fantastic!! Way to go shopping your stash for our new challenge!! What great inspiration for those who decide to play along with our Man's Best Friend challenge over at Shopping Our Stash!! I had to think outside the box as I don't have any doggie stammps!! #SOS573
