When I was in the city a few weeks ago for class I snuck over to my local scrapbook store during the lunch break to do a little shopping.
I didn't find much but I DID spy this stamp set by Technique Tuesday called Dog and Pony Show. It was too cute to pass up!
I then ended up getting sick so this set sat on my desk for a couple of weeks before I could even attempt to ink it up.
But now that's no longer the case - I ended up playing around with the set and some Chatterbox patterned paper and made several cards after I 
got better. It was a great way to get my mojo back after not stamping for a good 2 weeks!
All the animals were stamped with Brilliance Graphite black ink and heat set before coloring them.
I used Copic markers to color in all the animals. Each image was outlined with Copic's Warm Grey 1 marker.
All the sentiments are from A Muse - I have several that are just perfect for images like this.
The oval stamps are also by A Muse - I masked the images with Eclipse masking tape then stamped the ovals using Stampin' Up! Classic inks.
I used various ribbons from my stash for embellishing, and a couple of different colors of DoodleBug brads too.
I used 3 or 4 different sheets of the Chatterbox papers - they're double sided so the green and red papers are just the reverse sides of the patterned papers (I don't have the names of the patterns - sorry! I just grabbed them from their container and started cutting away and tossed the ends with the names before thinking I should have written them down!).
If you look closely you can see a bit of the patterned paper on the insides of each card - I added strips of the various papers to the inside to give them a more "finished" appeal - plus it's a GREAT way to use up and little leftover strips of patterned papers instead of tossing them.
These ended up being a LOT of fun to make! I played around with the images and the papers and each one has a different layout and whatnot.
I made 8 cards for this "set" - this is just the first 4 - I will upload all the rest either later today or tomorrow.
