This card was made for this week’s Teapotter’s Challenge/Destination Station – for more info, please see here Teapot Tuesday Destination Station - OLD INFO by Mothermark at Splitcoaststampers post #241. PJ is another young man dealing with cancer. April is PJ’s golden retriever so I hope he’ll like the personalization!
Printed digi and coloured with prismacolour pencils and OMS. The original image has a sign that says ‘Private’ but I cropped out that small portion and created computer text that says ‘April’. Cut paw print dp to fit pre-embossed frame. Cut and embossed the olive cs and also used same cs to add a layer behind main image. Distressed the edges of main image and embossed olive pc. Punched corners of main image.
Printed sentiment and punched out. Layered with pop dots on a circle punched from paw print dp. Attached ‘April’ after colouring and distressing (with pop dots)
Attached brads at the bottom. We were requested to send funny cards but I seem to have trouble with ‘funny’ . . . cute I can do though so I hope PJ enjoys it! Tfl
Card is 5 x 7”
Note to Teapotters: I wonÂ’t be able to comment much over the next weeks. I am having trouble with my right hand with carpel tunnel, a pinched nerve and tendonitis! Making cards keeps me sane so IÂ’m going do as much as I can!

Great embellishments and a winning card - there are some lovely dogs gathering for the photo shoot this week. I like the texturing.
I can't do funny either!!
Hope your hand improves soon, too.

Very cute card.
I feel your pain w/ the carpal tunnel. I'm in the same boat but no tendonitis or pinched nerve. The carpal tunnel is enough. Hope you feel better soon.
