Inspired By #171 and Time Out #186

I love it when a plan comes together.  I had what I thought was a perfect stamp for the Inspired By challenge.  See photo below.

I smooshed the background with Distress Inks and cut it with MFT's wonky stitched rectangle.  The bulldog is from Gerda Steiner and his party hat from Winnie and Walter, both colored with DI.  The sentiment for the speech bubble was computer generated.  Now for the inside sentiment?  What do you think it is?  Or should be?

I don't have any pets but I'm sending this grumpy fellow to Time Out for their challenge. 

Thanks for dropping by.

OH I know exactly what that guy is thinking, Bobby! But, let's not go there! LOL this is such a fun, and fantastic addition to our Woofing Celebration! LOve that background and his party hat is perfectly striped - even if he doesn't seem to agree! ha!

He doesn't look very happy to be wearing that hat! Terrific background and a terrific card. Thanks for joining us at IB!

You'd think that party pup would be happy with that soft yumminess in the background, Bobby ... it's lovely! Grumpy or not, he's a cutie! Inside might be ... is this hat really me?! Hugs, Anita :)

OMG, your smooshed background is perfect and your pup is PRICELESS, this makes me so happy, even if he's not, haha! Thank you for letting him come to the party @ IB this week (even if he didn't want to wear the hat)!

LOL! This is brilliant, Bobby! The perfect sentiment for that adorably grumpy face and your smooshed background is gorgeous!

Oh the things I can imagine him saying......! He definitely looks very grumpy but bet he's a softy at heart. Your smooshed background is so beautiful and subtle (so jealous, mine always look a mess) and the stitched edge is the perfect embellishment for such a CAS design. Its 'grumpy perfection' and you know how much we love to see your designs at TIME OUT!! XXX

The grumpy dog looks just so cute and funny and I love the smooshed background! I've forgotten that technique, I used to love it... Thank you for the reminder and thank you for joining us at Time Out!
