This card is for today's sketch challenge, as well as a double dare challenge I do with a group of friends each week. Anne, jdmommy, challenged us to make a card inspired by anything related to the Olympics this year. Since they are being hosted in China, I chose an Asian theme using this dog image for the Chinese astrology of the Year of the Dog, as well as the rich color of copper and the flourishy design. I made it masculine for a co-worker's birthday who happens to have been born in one of the years for the Year of the Dog.

Fabulous look to this beautiful card. I love the copper look that you've achieved on this. The dog was a great idea.
I know, aren't I lucky to be getting that gorgeous card from Vicky. I will put it in a shadow box and hang it in my kitchen.
