Buddy looked like he could walk a tight rope with the way he was holding that umbrella, so I let him try it out on this birthday card. I was going to stamp water and a shark fin under him, but decided to give him a break since he's working without a net.

Darling cards and the sentiments tell such fun stories of your scenes.
ReplyDeleteMore beautiful paper piecing and I just love your sense of humor with not giving Buddy the water and shark fin added to your birthday card! Two FABULOUS cards Kara...love them both!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun story you wove around Buddy on the tightrope, Kara ... what a great scene ... his balance is wonderful! So pleased he didn't have to deal with the sharks!! Those jolly brollies keeping Ducky and Buddy dry are so pretty, great paper piecing and lovely detailing! Hugs, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteSo cute, Kara. Who would have thought to have a dog walk a tightrope? Clever you, that's who.
ReplyDeleteGood eye, Kara! Buddy really does look like he's spent years at the family carnival, walking that rope and thrilling audiences from town to town! He's a calm as a cucumber! (Now, see, how do we really know cucumbers are calm? In my family, when my SIL went through her vegan stage, we used to say "peas have feelings, too," but we were just kidding. Now, I'm thinking maybe they do. I mean, if cucumbers can feel, why can't peas?) And I can see that when Buddy is off-duty as a tightrope walker, he changes fur to go spend the afternoon with his duckie friend, rain or shine! What a great card of friendship ~ and awesome piecing and cloud stenciling!! Take care and stay safe, my friend! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteI bet Buddy wouldn't have a smile on his face if you had added sharks! He looks so confident and sure footed on his wire. Such a cute story and fantastic idea for the tightrope. You are so clever. I'm glad he's safe back on the ground hanging with his friend, Duck. Pretty umbrellas.
ReplyDeleteSo FUN, Kara! I absolutely adore your balancing Buddy :o) Two great cards, and thanks for the shout out!
ReplyDeleteHow sweet Kara, what a fun tightrope idea!

ReplyDeleteOh Kara these are amazing!! I adore the two scenes and the dog on the tightrope is so fun!!
ReplyDeleteOh these are SO CUTE!! I LOVE that gray card with the tightrope!!! I feel like I am walking that most days right now!! GREAT card design!!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, I've never seen a cuter birthday card than the doggie walking the tightrope! How clever of you to put that together with such a great sentiment! Love the duck and dog friendship card too with all the cloudy skies! What an absolutely fresh, new and creative twofer pair of cards! Love 'em! :)
