I am a dog lover and I know many of you are as well. I had a great escape this week to my nearby crafts box store. What I liked best about the excursion was getting to meet, Bonnie, a delightful therapy dog. Her owner said their outing to the store was the first time out in months for the pretty canine who really needed to socialize. How well I could relate to that statement and my new furry friend.
You can only imagine how much I enjoyed coloring this doggy lineup and setting them into a simple scene. I did some masking with the stamped images to rearrange the pack, fussy cut then colored using Copics. The sky and grass were ink blended with Distress Oxide inks. ( Tumbled Glass, Cracked Pistachio and Lucky Clover.)
It felt good to make this card for a friend that has been going through the mill with health issues. The dog images are from Puppy Power (Waffle Flower Crafts) and the sentiments from Friends FURever (Honeybee Stamps.) I know I will get lots of use from these sets. The sentiment continues inside with "No bones about it... You are PAWsome!"
I am playing with Freshly Made Challenges who inspired me with this sketch this week.
I thought the differing heights of the pooches mimicked the vertical lines. A little bit.
That's all for me today! Hope to see you soon!
Be yourself
Delight in your craft
Make something beautiful!

Oh, wow, Cindy! Your card is "pawsome"! As a therapy dog mom, I know my kid is missing his "people"!
Cindy, what a sweet and adorable card! Love your gorgeous coloring. I wish our craft stores would open and the rubberstamp conventions that I miss so much.
What a great card for these times! It has been rough - but those happy faces will cheer anybody up!
Super cute! Off to check out the doggy stamp(s). thanks for then enable. LOL!
You know I'm a dog lover and for a fact this card is adorable! LOVE the stamp and the scene you created with the clouds in the background. I miss our one and only craft store that closed a few years ago. It was such a fun place to spend an afternoon. Even if we had a craft store it wouldn't be open yet. Oregon is opening in phases.
Sounds like you had a real pick me up kind of day! Your card is just as cute as can be and will diffidently lift your friend's spirits!
I love this scene of doggy goodness! What a fabulous card, Cindy!
What a cute lineup of dogs and puppies! This makes such a creative take on the sketch. Thanks so much for joining us at Freshly Made Sketches this week.
This adorable pack of pups will cheer anyone up! Beautiful coloring!
