Friday's Free For All "Man's Best Friend" challenge. Of course I had to use a corgi!
The Sweet Sunday Sketch Challenge
and
Wplus9 Color Cue Challenge
I started stamping the Eat Cake Graphics dog onto Gina K Cream paper. If you look at the ears, this dog is obviously a corgi, yet for some reason the stamp has a tail on it (or maybe it's a cardigan?) (or maybe I see a corgi in every dog stamp with big ears ;) ). I used Burnt Ochre Prismacolor pencil to lightly draw some fur (I used sepia for the ears), then colored over it with a Y21 copic (and YR00 for the ears).
I used L4 and S5 square nesties to cut out the cream and the SU Baja Breeze, then Big Scallop Squares nesties to cut out the SU Dusty Durango. The green dp is from an old SU pack and I stamped it using a Studio G alphabet with Memento Rich Cocoa ink. Added a big We R Memory Keepers eyelet and some burlap twine, then, as you can see, I went a little crazy on the distressing to make it all "manly" and such.
When I saw the thumbnail, I immediately thought this looks like mtgchic's avatar and lo and behold, it is your card! So sweet!! You did a great job of capturing his/her coloring. tfs

LOL, I love this little guy, hee hee hee... I like the distressing and the rustic feel you gave this card (and bonus points for distressed scallops - that is hard!)
