To start this card I picked out the papers I wanted to use for the background from the Birthday Woofs Paper Pad.  I used the large postage edged rectangle die from the Framework Die Set to cut the blue patterned paper.  I then used the small postage edged rectangle die from the same die set to cut the balloon and party hat patterned papers.  

I stamped out these adorable pups ready to party from the Dog Birthday Party Stamp Set.  I colored them all with copic markers and cut them out using the coordinating die set.

Next, I used the small circle die from the Frames Squared Die Set to cut a piece of gray cardstock.  I stamped the sentiment, which is from the Dog Birthday Party Stamp Set, and white heat embossed.  

I assembled my card using gray cardstock for the base and popped up the pups and sentiment circle with foam tape for some dimension!

For finishing touches on this card I added accents with a white gel pen, glitter, and glossy accents!  Now it's time to get your paws inky creating a project for the Sketch Challenge using your Newton's Nook Designs products.  Be sure to link up to the Inky Paws Challenge!  Hope to see you there!
