This is my sample card for the Color Challenge hosted by Chris: Real Red, Bermuda Bay, and Basic Black with dessert of something weathered.
The dog was die-cut from the Playful Pets DSP (neutral grays). He reminds me of a Schnauzer we had; he would drag his favorite blanket all over & even outside only to leave it there. I dry embossed a piece of Bermuda Bay and then die-cut it with a stitched die to represent his worn out & weathered blanket. Bermuda Bay ombre paper is in the background with a layered strip of the Playful Pets DSP. This puppy looks like he is smiling so I used a sentiment about my heart smiling and accented with two glimmer hearts.
This card is going to my DD who has been having a rough time lately. She loves dogs and works at a dog care center. A card with a happy dog, an encouraging sentiment and a touch of glimmer might lift her spirits a little bit.
Have fun with the colors this week! Looking forward to seeing what you create. TFL

Beautiful. Such a heartfelt card. The DP, the design, and the dog image are all perfect together. Beautiful sentiment, hearts, and embossing, all great together.

Well this card makes my heart smile so I imagine it will do the same for your DD. That pup couldn't be cuter and he does look like he is wearing one big grin -- must be because he found his favorite blanket again. Love the ombre bg and the get texture on his blanket. Absolutely adorable. I hope your daughter's spirits are lifted by this card and that the road smooths out for her soon.
