Rare Earth Pet stamps

The Rare Earth pet stamps are so realistic and so detailed which makes them very easy to colour and they are very versatile and fun to use. There are a variety of dogs, cats and more exotic pets in the sets.

I decoupaged the face of the bulldog to give it more dimension. The card front was folded on the diagonal and the dog background stamp was used over an oxide ink background. I designed the kennel and bone and cut out with the Brother Scan n Cut.

I love the fur background stamp and found they look more realistic when blending two colours. The fish-bones were designed using Canvas Workspace.

The hamster stamp is really cute. I used decoupage for the face and the paws. I stamped the fur background green and it looks like grass.

The cat is sitting in a window box. Unfortunately I cut it off in the photograph so it is difficult to work out what`s going on.

The kitten has a pleading look on its face. It fits well on the Tattered Lace rocker card.

These two dogs look ready for action. The paw prints come with the set of stamps and again I used the fur stamp for the background.

I love this cat peeping from behind the door. I nearly gave up with this card but it turned out alright in the end.

I used papers from one of the Tattered lace magazines for the background. The rabbits are sat on a mini fold to give the scene more dimension.

I used the Tattered Lace mid stepper card dies and the fur background stamp. The stamp is so well shaded it only needed one layer of grey alcohol pens.

The week before I received these stamps I made a birthday card for somebody with a tortoise and a parrot but the images I used were not so good as the Rare Earth stamps. I shall now be prepared for next year!! 

I nearly uploaded this picture upside down!! Australian fish?  I used the Brother Scan n Cut to make the bowl and some torn tissue paper for the weed. The fish stamp is very detailed and very realistic and easy to colour.
