 Well, hi there, I am Sandy Alnock and you might know me as somebody who does the human rainbow and today I'm gonna do a four-legged rainbow Yes, four-legged meaning pets. You guys know I love my pets I love my kitties and my doggies and look at these leading ladies. They have cats. They have dogs They have sentiments. Oh my gosh so much fun and they each have an arm that's Cradling so you can tuck in another animal inside their arms I'm just so excited. I'm so excited Okay, so let's get on from my excitement and we're gonna do one card with both of these stamp sets on them And it's gonna just be overrun with critters And what I want to challenge you to do is not always do the same cat or the same dog Make it the four-legged rainbow like our human rainbow Because there's all different colors of kitties and doggies and different kinds of spots different types of colorations on them You can use warm rays. You can use cool grays. You can use all your browns There are some cats that even look like they have a little pink or a little blue in them because they had just have a little different Tinge to them and if you're stuck for gee whiz, I don't have a cat I don't know what a cat looks like go to Google just go to Google Google's your friend Google will show you there are all different kinds That first cat that I do is a lot like my punch punch has all those grays and stuff on his back And he has one eye covered by a patch my other kitty is all black and She is all black so I couldn't color with all black So I colored her with a couple of different grays So that you get some dimension in it without having one big black blob And then I just went for some other colors of kitties that look like other kitties I have had in the past This one is kind of a brown kitty using a little bit of a flush tone to make my Transition into white and then here's a white kitty that I'm using a flush tone for How fun is that you can make so many different kinds of kitties and I stamped out all the sentiments by the way So you can see what they all are they're not all pet oriented while they're pet oriented But you can use them for a card for a human There are some cards some stamp sets that they're all for people with pets or People that have just adopted a pet or something. This one is one of those where you can use it for a lot of different stuff And of course you'd probably send it to somebody who's a cat fan or a dog fan in this case My card is gonna be for fans of all four-legged critters because it's gonna have all of these on it because it's so fun So this first doggy of course I picked out the one that I thought looked most like my giallo my little golden retriever and Using a couple colors to color him in and then I had to find a Vienna and Even though it's stamped crooked. It looks like the dog is taking a dump right there That's not the angle the dog actually sits at But she has a little spot by the base of her tail as well as on her ears and her eye And I'll use another light gray to add some dimension to it And you can color these of course with any medium you want I'm using my Copics, but these work with all different kinds of fun things If you could fun to do in colored pencil too because they're I like with small images that you can get into some details with colored pencils that you might not be able to with some other mediums and Somebody asked me recently. Why don't I ever do a brindle dog? So let's do a brindle. It's gonna be a black and brown brindle like one that I saw at the park recently It's almost like it's got little teeny tiny stripes So I'm making little tap marks with a gray marker on top of brown To sort of give it some dimension and I was looking at the dog when somebody said brindle I looked at this this particular dog to follow like okay Do the do the lines on the ears go which way which way does the lines on the face go? And so this is the way that the dog looked that I saw and So that little dog is now infamous here on my video And then I wanted to soften some of those lines out because of course brindles don't look like they have stripes They're not like tiger stripes or anything So softening it with a lighter color and then I wanted to push a little more brown back into it So I'm going over top of it a little bit with some brown again And here we have another doggy. It's gonna be a white doggy with this little paws up Jalo does that trick really well by the way. He's totally my sit-up and beg kind of dog Vianna sorta does it if I have her shake one paw then she'll pull the other paw up and she'll sit up But I have to help her she won't do that on her own, but Jalo is like give me a cookie. I'll do anything Yeah, he's he's my crazy food dog So there we go all those little images are all colored in and I'm gonna zoom through the coloring of the human rainbow portion These I'm making look like two of the girls who work at our local local vet So I thought this might be a fun card that I may give to them I don't know if I'll give it to them or not, but They're both very dark-skinned African-American ladies So they have some some deep African heritage beautiful beautiful girls And I say girls even though they're like in their 20s don't get offended by me saying that because They are they're wonderful young women But to me at the age I'm at everybody is like turning into younger people Even adult people are seeming like they are younger and younger because I'm getting older and older I remember when I first realized I was getting old because I was buying a pair of shoes and The guy helping me at the shoe place was no longer like some old man It used to be some old man that worked at the shoe store And now the people that work at the shoe store and buy my shoes at are Like really really really young like they they seem like they're in junior high sometimes I know they're not I know that's terrible of me to say But it just seems that way because everybody just looks younger and younger and that day that I noticed And I was probably in my 30s when I suddenly saw that that really hit me. Okay. I'm getting older that happened Aging comes upon you before you even know it Yeah, now those faces I will fix later on that is not my best coloring on the faces Notice that I didn't just stop and start all over and throw it out Because the focus on this card is totally gonna be on those little puppies and kitties anyway Now there are dyes that you can get to go with these and that will cut out the arms So the arm will pull out and you can tuck an animal in it I didn't want to do that so I'm gonna have some special tips on how to do it if you have a flat card like this because I wanted to put both of my Veterinary assistance in the picture and use both sets at the same time So I masked one I stamped the one on the right first masked out her arm in the side of her outfit and then stamped the other one and Now that means that I'm going to have to do something else because if you I Wish there was a die that or a trick with a die that you could only die cut the inside of the die Because I'd like to inside cut that arm But you know that doesn't always happen There's like no magic science that allows you to take a die and only die cut the inside portion So I finished my coloring on the outfits and the white gel pen is an awesome awesome thing If you decide you didn't like your blending just do patterns on top of your outfit and you'll be just fine So here we go with adding the critters to it the I'm sort of trying to figure out what I want to do with them all How am I gonna pile them all in there and fit everybody in the car? And I'm gonna do some animals are gonna come out from behind the people as well as Ones are of course in front and there's gonna be one kitty that's gonna go in between the legs So I'm taking my fingertip knife. This thing is an invaluable tool if you don't have one It's a little cheap thing, but it helps to do fancy little kinds of cutting like this and the surface that I'm cutting on is The is this thing that I got ages ago I don't even know if you can buy one separately it came with my little score pal and I use that for for cutting So you want to have something that you can cut into I will put some other options because I did see one Online that I thought was interesting. I don't have it, but I'll put one down there if you need one But you can also just use a piece of cardboard or something underneath of it just cardboard you can destroy So I've cut out the top sides of their arms So that I can tuck animals in there and then I'm gonna go down each one of their legs But you can see how you can tuck the animals in And you may need to do a little bit of adjusting as you go To your cutting and add you know cut a little bit deeper or something in a certain area to make it look like the animals are really inside And then underneath each one I stuck a little bit of a power tab Just cut off like a third of one to stick it under the kitty or the dog and then I'm starting to add the other animals And see how this one goes in between the legs And you can make them intertwining with the images. So look how cute the card came out with all those critters on it I used all the stamps. Well, okay, I didn't put all the stamps that I colored all the little little toys and things But I used all the other ones. There's that one kitty in the back. The black kitty is peeking out from behind the legs and Then on the inside I put the little brindle With the secondary sentiment in it. Isn't that cute? Didn't that come out fun? I hope you guys enjoyed this and that if you are a dog or cat fan You might like these leading ladies sets Ellen Hudson does all of these Like I think every month every month or every two months at least they come out with these and they're all different themes And this one seems perfect for me the dog and cat lover So I hope you enjoyed this go out and do some four-legged rainbow coloring make animals of all different types Because they don't need to all be the same ones and I will see you guys next time have a really awesome day Go make something beautiful. Bye. Bye
