Patches the dog

I've been wanting to do a punch art dog for awhile now so when I saw how Mercedes did hers, I just had to case it.  Here's a link to her sweet little puppy.  Puppy Love

Isn't he cute in his own little dog house? 
I cut a standard card to 4 1/4" X 11", scored it at 5 1/2" & cut off the open ends into a peak for the roof. The fold is at the bottom of this card. 
Then I drew lines for the wood planks with a pencil, added some 'nails' & then did direct to paper with my White craft ink.
The peak has a layer of white & black CS.
I used Basic Gray for the hole in his dog house.  The round top was done with the Circle Scissors plus & then I just cut down the sides straight.

Isn't the dog bone clever?  Mercedes came up with that.  Punch two hearts from our new Heart to Heart punch & place them on a punched word window piece.  Trace this onto another piece of card stock & cut out. 
To make the punch art dog, I used the following punches:

• 1 1/4" circle - face
• 1 3/8" circle - body
• wide oval punch - muzzle
• 1/2" circle - feet
  
• word window punch - ears & patch on eye & nose
• double circle punch - eyes
• tongue - horizontal slot punch

Dogs protect us! The elderly as it no longer felt alone! With young people, it increases the song and laughter! It is a good helper
