Step One: Select your subject, preferably a willing dog.This will be crucial to the success of your project.
Step Two: Use a small artist brush to paint black craft paint on your model's paw. You will need an assistant to hold the model.
Step Three: Bring a piece of copy paper to the paw and press lightly. I found that this worked better than having the dog step onto the paper. Don't worry about small smears or smudges, you will fix these in step four.
Step Four: Use correction fluid (white-out) to "correct" or "erase" any stray black marks.
Step Five: Place this paper once dried on glass of copy machine and copy to white cardstock. This way the corrected places will not show.
Step Six: Print out your dogs name onto white cardstock and place on a small square of black cardstock.
Step Seven: Frame using a black mat for contrast.
