My Spaniel, Tessa

Photo Details

Poster: susanbri

CAS883 = Pets - I have a cream and tan English Cocker Spaniel named Tessa - this image looks a bit like her. (The two English Cockers in my SCS photo are my two older ones who have passed away.)

I stamped and coloured (with coloured pencils) the dog, then fussy cut it. On my focal panel, I embossed with a postage stamp die and glued the dog's feet onto it and popped up her body and head with dimensionals. I sketched a few lines under her to ground her. I added fun flock to the Santa hat's pompom and brim.

Such a sweet tribute to Tessa, and the way you brought her to life with the soft pencil coloring feels so warm and personal. The popped‑up body adds wonderful dimension, and the postage‑stamp frame is a perfect clean setting for her. The fun flock on the Santa hat gives just the right touch of texture and whimsy.
