CYCI #134 Pet Challenge

Here it is Sunday again and you know what that means.....another challenge over at Can You Case It!  This week's challenge was a pet sketch challenge.  Considering that I have a pet dog Zena, who is usually spending most of her time with me in my craft room, I felt I would have to use a dog of some sort as the basis for my card.    Here is a picture of my girl...

I found a free digital stamp that I really liked and colored it using both my Spectrum Noir markers and my Prismacolor Colored pencils.  Then, continuing with the dog theme, I added an embossed mat using my Darice Paw Print embossing folder and then offset that on another slightly larger mat of a dark pink color.  I found this colorful celebration designer paper in my stash and used it as the background and glued everything on a dark blue base card.  I cut out just the balloon portion of one of my favorite stamps and colored it using the same tools I used for the dog and then glued them to the card and coated them with glossy accents.  Using a fine line black marker, I drew the strings and bow around the dog's neck.   Also, from my stash I found just the perfect blue and pink ribbon, dog bone, pink, green, and blue buttons to add the final touches to this card.

Zena really inspired me for this one and I LOVE how it turned out.  I love the colors and the colorful embellishments.  I hope you like it too!

Let your pet inspire you to join our challenge this week!  We love to see your creations!

Thanks for stopping by!
