Spotlight Card & Puppy's Name!
We're going through the adjustment of a new puppy--it's been so long. His name is Friedrich Mannheim & we call him Fritz. His best friend right now is a rubber kong toy--constantly chewing with those sharp puppy teeth! No time to really design a card, but I've had this idea in my mind for awhile & in 3 sittings finally got it done. I like spotlight cards, but haven't done very many. I thought a spotlight panel would be neat to do with the Hero Arts Silhouette Grass stamp. I copied the scrapling I did for the Hero Arts scramble a few weeks ago--just used a different section of the stamp. I inked the stamp with 3 Distress Inks & then spritzed before stamping. Distress Glitters are added, but hard to tell from the picture. Virginia's View Challenge is about to close & I'll link up there.
I'm reading blogs a few at a time using my laptop where I can see what puppy dude is doing. Thanks for understanding. Hope your week is going well. We've had beautiful weather until tonight. I keep telling Fritz Oregon dogs don't mind the rain, but he's not yet convinced--LOL!
He looks like a Fritz!!
ReplyDeleteHow adorable Greta and I love your card which makes me long for Summer...

ReplyDeleteGreat name choice!!! Little Fritz is so stinkin' cute!!!! I bet you are having so much fun with him!!! And I love your card with the spotlight panel! So pretty!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Greta. Love Fritz's full name. Sounds so classy. He is a gorgeous puppy.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful spotlight design, I like them and have never tried it. Have fun with Fritz, great name, also love his 'formal' name. Cheers, Shirleyx ps thanks for sharing the photo of him :)
ReplyDeleteoh goodness... fritz is just too cute, greta!! lovely spotlight card!
ReplyDeleteGreta, your little Fritz is a doll, I can see why you don't have much time to make cards...but the one you did is wonderful! Looking forward to seeing him grow...
ReplyDeleteLove the name - both the formal and informal. He is so cute, Greta!
ReplyDeleteYour card is very nice too - I haven't done a spotlight card in years!
What a perfect name, and nickname. He sure is a cutie. Love your card, another new technique to me. Will have to give it a shot.
ReplyDeleteLove your new puppy! Fritz's name is so German (love that)! I love the wet and glittery look on your Silhouette Grass! Gorgeous card, Greta! Thanks so much for playing the first Virginia's View Challenge!
ReplyDeleteHe's such a cute puppy with those little tufts of hair standing up on his back. My neighbor has a mini schnauzer named Fritz too. Theirs is black and white and several years old.
ReplyDeleteFritz...oh, what a sweet name; it suits your furry little cutie-patootie perfectly! I suspect you occasionally lapse into calling him "Fritz-y" *grin* Truly, I am so excited that he's found a most loving home with you, and you've found a loving puppy for your home! A little family of three...and we know who's receiving a whole bunch of spoiling and pampering! That schnauzer face is irresistibly adorable! Your card: gorgeous! Love the spotlight panel - a technique that you use with absolute flair and style! Awesome post, my friend! Hugs~c
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the newest addition, Greta! I think his name suits him too. Can't wait to hear about your new adventures with him.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful design! I love how you spotlighted the grass.
What a handsome boy he is! Tell me about time, I remember when we first got Papi, I spent 16 hours a day for 2 months, well, looking back, I can tell you he is all worth it, he is a very well-behaved little boy! Congrats once again for the new addition!
ReplyDeleteAnd I really love your beautiful card!
Cute puppy and love the card! Great technique!
ReplyDeleteOh Greta Fritz is just darling!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the watercolour effect you have created with the grass stamp. Love the panel mirroring the background too. Gorgeous.
Oh, Greta!!! Fritz is just the sweetest little guy! I love his formal name and nickname, and I'm sure are having the time of your life this week, sweet friend!! And how nice that you got to stamp and make a beautiful card! Great technique! Enjoy, sweet friend and give him a snuggle from me!! LOL! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteFritz is quite the dude, isn't he? Great card as well. I haven't seen a spotlight card quite like this before and I really like it.
ReplyDeleteYou've used one of my favorite stamps Greta, love your card design!! So clever to use the scrapling on it!!
ReplyDeleteSqueal!!! Would you just look at that ball of fluff!!! Fritz is a great name for him, quite german. Looking forward to more pics and stories of his puppy adventures. Your card is beautiful by the way, but little Fritz steals the show ;)
ReplyDeleteI think you picked the perfect name!!!! I'll bet you and your hubby are having a ball:). Your card is really pretty- I haven't done spotlighting in a long time and it's one of my fave techniques!
ReplyDeleteAdorable puppy and beautiful card!
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous spotlight card! Your new puppy is so cute! It must be so exciting!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, I am loving Mr. Fritz! ADORABLE! I know it must be quite an adjustment, but all the love you will receive! *sigh*. Your card is beautiful. Perfect stamp for that technique.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Greta and Fritz is Super CUTE!!! Love :)
