How long does it take to color a beagle?? 8 months. A talented 14 year old drew this and was extremely happy that I asked for it. It sat here since February challenging me. It took 7 months and 3 weeks to talk myself into "just do it." Three more days to agonize over it and another 4 to actually do it. She is thrilled when she sees one of her drawings on a card for her. So this is a tribute to Brianna and a birthday card for her. I did resist the urge to embellish the card front and opted to let her artwork shine. Thank you Bri, for an outstanding image!

You and your friend are so talented, Nancy. Bri's drawing of her beagle is so beautiful and your pencil coloring brings her beagle to life:-) Thank you Bri for enabling our dear friend to post your gorgeous birthday card. Hope to see more cards soon, Nancy:-) Did you see that Loll's tag challenge starts on Nov. 6th? Would love to see you play along again. A big Hug...
So beautiful! I was just thinking about you earlier in the week and wondering if you had been posting and somehow I have been missing your creations! So fun to run across this gorgeous card! Hugs!

Your colouring style fits Brianna's drawing style perfectly Nancy! It looks so fluid. I love the way the grey background is coloured. Is that part of the drawing or a creative addition of your own? This is a beautiful portrait of a sweet dog!

You did a fabulous job coloring this, Nancy. I think the time you took to figure out how to do it just right was perfect. It is a very special card for a very special girl (obviously). So glad to see you in the gallery. Miss you!!!!
