Tim Holtz crazy dogs

I bought the Tim Holtz Crazy Cats and Dogs a while back in a stamp shop sale and haven't used them very much, so now it's time to pull them out.
I've worked on 3 cards using the adorable little dogs.
Card 1 with an inlaid die.  I used a circle die I purchased on line from a company in China, I die cut the white card and then again die cut some watercolour card stock I had coloured with the new Tim Holtz distress inks.  It took me a while to put all those tiny little circles back in the holes.  I then die cut a stitched tag out of the inlaid die background.  To continue the circle theme I used the Carabelle circle stencil for the background.

I'm entering this for the CAS Mixup April inlaid die challenge (Stamping, stenciling and inlaid die)

Card 2 and 3 Stenciled background
I have also had this film strip background for ages and never gotten around to using it, I was wondering what my dogs would take photos of if they had a camera 🙈
The backgrounds were stenciled using a Stamporations leaf and  Carabelle circle stencils.  I used Ranger distress inks and clarity brushes to blend the colours.
