Three Cheers for Dynamic Duos #23

Howdy stampers! Time for another fun color challenge over at Dynamic Duos. Since it is the first week of the month, we are going "Bold and Sassy" with some Tangerine Tango and Old Olive. I'm also really excited to announce that we have three new Guest Designers making their debut with this challenge, so I hope you will check it out!
When I was trying to decide on a tamp set for this challenge, I stopped on the Cheers to You set. Hmmm, how about some mango margaritas? I stamped the image in black then stamped another embossed with Tangerine Tango Embossing Powder. I cut out the "drink" portion and glued it on. The little limes were dressed up with some Dazzling Details glitter glue and popped up for dimension. The sentiment is also heat embossed and I added some bling...because I just felt like it needed it. There are very few things that do NOT benefit from bling, in my opinion. :)  
Here is the inside of the card, continuing the theme from the front of the card. That lime is not cut out very well, sorry...try not to look at that.
I hope you will come check out this weeks challenge at Dynamic Duos. The challenge is open through Noon on October 11th. Also, please stop by and say hello to the lovely ladies on the Design Team. 


Before I go, I wanted to share a photo of someone special. This is Oscar. He is currently shacking up with us until he is able to find his forever home. We saved this guy from euthanasia at the city shelter (where he was brought in as a stray) and are fostering him to give him a shot at a happy life. Unfortunately, black dogs are not usually the first to be adopted at ANY shelter and I'm pretty sure this guy has never spent much time in a loving home in his year of life. He deserves better and he is getting a lot of love with us, that is for sure. Look at that sweet face...even with his "cone hat", which comes off in a couple of days!

  6. Your post made my day. You combined my two favorite things...rescued dogs and stamping. I am in Rhode Island and have a rescued (black) dog from the Houston, TX area. He is the sweetest boy ever! Thank you for fostering Oscar...you've saved his life!!! Fingers and paws crossed that he finds a forever home soon. Oh, and great card...definitely "borrowing" the layout.
