My post title is the name of this delightful Meljen's Designs image, and I used the colors from the challenge over there, too. I know, I know, you expect to see only felines on my blog but the truth is I love animals, not just cats. Shhhh, don't tell my fur babies I said that. :-D
I colored him with a combination of ProMarkers and Copics, with a tiny bit of sparkle gel ink. The papers are all from my stash and the scrap bits from which I made the dove-tailed flags are shiny CS (from Gina K., I think.)
I added the stitching around the card front and around the image, and printed the sentiment with a computer font. Everything is matted with Deep Ocean Blue CS. The little dragonfly is part of the dp and since it was just a scrap, I had to work it some to get it in exactly the right place.

I may be MIA for a couple of days as far as visiting my favorite blogs but I have a DT card scheduled for tomorrow and maybe one or two others this week so I hope you'll visit even if I don't answer my door when you knock. There's usually a cold drink in the fridge and cookies in the cookie jar on the counter so make yourself at home while you browse around. :-D Happy Stamping. NanaConnie

Your doggie is the cutest, Connie. Yes, I'm thinking your kitty cats would be a bit jealous of this card. :-)
Dogs are DEFINITELY people, too, and you cannot tell them otherwise! LOL and kitties think they are super humans - beyond people - LOL Darling card, Connie. Love your colors and shading - big hugs, donut

Perfect sentiment and Connie, your coloring on this little guy is sensational! I have the same image and was looking at it and then skipped right over it since I knew I'd have to color it! You did a beautiful job!
Not to worry - we'll be here when you return.
