Jackie is hosting a fun teaparty on behalf of Kelly (miamikel4) for Kelly's daughter Chrissy. We are sending get well wishes to the theme of Team DOGS or Team CATS.
We are to use the letters DOGS or CATS - not actual pictures of dogs and cats - although we could and I did.
D = dog, distress inks
O = outdoor scene
G = girl
S = sunset
The image is printed on copy paper and coloured with pencils. I used a glue stick to completely cover the back of the image, then stuck it on a piece of cardstock. Once nice and dry I die cut it.
It looked a bit lost sitting on a plain white background so I went through my stash to find a suitable background. What you see here is exactly what I pulled out of the box - complete with "grass".
I added quite a bit of walnut stain distress ink to the edges of the background and the circle to sort of marry them together.
Thank you for looking and I hope you get a chance to send Chrissy a paper hug. Stay safe.

This is soooo sweet and your coloring is outstanding! I am looking at all the things! The pattern on her dress, the grass, just everything. This is sure to cheer Kelly's daughter!

Awww, what a truly fantastic image this is Susie, and just perfect for Chrissy too. Again, your coloring is just amazing; especially the fur and hair. I love this wonderful, warm color palette you used too. I know Chrissy will be thrilled with this heartfelt, gorgeous card you made for her Susie! ~Karen.

Such a happy accident that you had that lovely background all ready to go on this oh-so-sweet card!
