This week our theme at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog is 4-Legged Friends. I hope you will join us and don't miss the last project by our July guest designer Laura Cassina

Layers of ink - Furry Friend Mixed Media Tutorial by Anna-Karin Evaldsson.

I made a mixed media canvas board this week, featuring my parents' sweet dog. It will be a gift for my Mom (who hopefully does not read this). I made the background green, with a bit of yellow, to match the colors of the photo.

Apply gesso to the board and let dry. The apply Texture Paste with a palette knife through the Simon Says Stamp Mix and Match Squares stencil. Let dry and repeat to cover the board.

Paint the canvas with Distress Paint and mist with water to blend.

When the paint was dry, I added a white outline to some of the squares with a white paint pen.

I misted the canvas board with Twisted Citron Distress Spritz.


When the mist was dry, I stamped the background here and there with Simon Says Stamp Old Letter.

The title was die cut with the new You die from the Cheering For You release. I didn't use the particular die cuts on the photo, but ended up cutting the title from blue inky paper and black cardstock instead.

The word 'love' comes from the Simon Says Stamp You stamp set. I also wanted to stamp a small 'you' to complete this sentiment. Rub Antique Linen paint into the Tim Holtz Typed Tags.

I die cut Simon Says Stamp Circle Loops from left-over inky paper, matching the sky in the photo.

'Are the best' also comes from the Simon Says Stamp You stamp set, which is a great stamp set with so many useful sentiments.
