Layers of ink - Schnauzer Tag Tutorial by Anna-Karin Evaldsson.

We had two miniature Schnauzers when I was a teenager and they inspired today's project. I challenged myself to stick mainly to Distress Ink on this project, in difference to when I used this Simon Says Stamp Lil' Critters Schnauzer die the last time and colored it with watercolors. You can find that card and tutorial here.

Start by die cutting the Lil' Critters Schnauzer from heavystock paper. Ink with Distress Ink. I used a torn printer paper as a mask for the front legs.

Add more ink and then use a white gel pen to add some white elements and to add highlights to the eyes and nose. The gel pen looks a bit messy close up like this.

Use the Simon Says Stamp Polka Hearts stencil to add hearts to the sky and dots to the grass.

I have always been fond of this old notched ticket look.

I die cut the Simon Says Stamp Etched Delicate Frond twice from left-over inky paper in similar color as the background. The mummy cloth was dyed with Distress Ink. I also added some sequins.
