You are probably asking yourself what the heck does she mean "lick a fan"? The picture should pretty much explain itself, but in case you don't get it, here is my explanation....You see, when Dusty Dog gets hot he sits in front of the fan and licks it. Sounds like a good idea....if you're a hot dog! hehe......my card...
I saw a technique recently where you take black coffee and paint it on w/c paper making your bg. So I did just that. Then your were to draw a scene of maybe flowers or something you saw on vellum. I did all that but then headed off in a different direction.
After drawing your scene you were to trace it on the bg and color in the parts with your choice of coloring. Maybe even paper piece parts. Doing all that would mean my card wouldn't have vellum on it.
So to fit today's challenge, I stopped after I drew the scene, colored it partly on the back and then some on the front. Used a stylus for the "white fur parts" on Dusty Dog. Cut around the vellum scene then taped it to my coffee bg adding doodles.
After seeing so many very pretty cards in the gallery, I just had to go in the total opposite direction for my card. That's my story and I am sticking to it. hehe......TFL :0)

Ha!!! Cathy!! Great card! Reminds me of a song I used to teach my school kids. One line says "Don't put your face in the fan or you might look at others differently!" I think it was called the safety song!

Cathy you are one inventive person and I always look forward to your cards in the gallery! Awesome doggie and fan drawing and painting with coffee....did your hand just sort of slip and the cup went over and a coffee technique sounded like a good idea..??? Just kidding FUN card!

Your artwork is not only amazing, it's fun! How cute is that dog sitting by the fan. If you ever draw stamps to sell I'd be first in line to get them! Thanks for sharing so many giggles and great cards.

Cathy, you have the darnedest, funniest collection of animals and I love all of their antics! So clever and cute and plain fun!
Here's an idea, add a drop of dish soap and get a straw and blow some bubbles in that coffee, then take the bubbles and put them on your watercolor c/s. Very cool bg.
