The first job of the day was to make some changes to the dog bed to see if it made things easier.
I cut the design to the outer border, mounted onto coloured card, and then using decoupage sticky pads, the card was mounted onto a plain white card.
I'd forgotten how relaxing I find doing the embossing, so I may not leave it so long before I do some more.
I cut away part of the front, and just zigzag along the edges twice over to keep them together and stop fraying.
It made things easier, but definitely not ideal. The cats may get their bed after all, but not before he's got a bigger bed, I don't think anyone is going to be able to take this one away for a while.
As I hadn't made any cards for a while, and stocks were dwindling, I thought it was about time I made some more.
With the pergamano cards I've done before, the parchment was the outer cover, and I hand sewed card to the inside. This time I mounted the embossed design onto card.

Beautiful cards. Certainly does look as though you would have a tough time taking the bed away without replacing it.
The doggie looks pretty well ensconced, for sure.
Gorgeous cards. Is there any technique you haven't tried yet! ;-)
Love the cards! I think he likes his new bed whether it fits or not! LOL
Love the dog photo! That pup looks like the bed is a new favorite place :)
