There is a really fun new digital release today at Sweet November Stamps*: Howl-o-Ween Pups! There are SIX adorable new pups all dressed up for Halloween. In amongst them is a very special little guy – my own little block-headed snuggle bug Arthur. It was such a lovely surprise when this image popped up in my messages from Tee at Sweet November Stamps, and really timely too as I hadn’t found an idea for my partner Paul’s special birthday earlier this week. Which is why I’m sharing a birthday card rather than Halloween today! As well as checking out the card, you can watch me colour Arthur in my latest Copic marker colouring video below.
Arthur’s Dino Costume Card
Arthur and the rest of the Howl-o-Ween pups are available to purchase on the Sweet November Stamps* website now as digital stamps. They are all utterly adorable, and totally too cute to spook.
I fussy cut Arthur out, and popped him up in front of a fun bokeh style background paper, with some die cut balloons.
Stamps Used: Sweet November Stamps Arthur’s Dino Costume digital stamp*,
Dies/Tools: Spellbinders Platinum Die Cut Machine*, Spellbinders Birthday Balloons die set*,
Other Supplies: Ink On 3 Blackout Detail Ink, Bearly Art Precision Craft Glue*,Spellbinders ColorWheel Cardstock*, Spellbinders Gold Assortment Treasured Cardstock*, Whimsy Stamps Bokeh Bliss 6×6 paper,
I printed the image on my favourite Make it Colour Blending Card before colouring with Copic markers.
I had sent Tee a photo of Arthur in his fleece dinosaur coat, which inspired Amy to draw this stamp! He’s a little Staffosaurus most days now the weather has turned colder, and he actually has two coats in different colours (his other coat matches the colours I used on the card). Here’s a couple of photos of the real Arthur.
He stays nice and snuggly and warm, and looks adorable with it.
