I'm sneaking this post onto the blog while the feline fur babies are distracted by my first post this morning which featured a kitten (at their insistence!) They don't much like it when I feature other animals, most especially dogs.
On the other hand, who could resist this precious little pug? Let me tell you a quick back story about this card. My eldest granddaughter and her best friend have rented a house, each of them moving away from home on that "I'm now an adult" adventure. Her friend has a sweet little pug named Eva and, when I saw this image at Ching-Chou Kuik, I knew I had to do a card for her.
I had it planned for her birthday but then, over the weekend, she was in a car accident wherein the car in which she was riding was rear-ended by another car. Although there's nothing life threatening, she's pretty banged up and in a lot of pain from classic whip lash injuries, including headaches and throwing up. The ER doctors told her she's going be even more sore by this morning than she was yesterday. I knew what she needed most was to hug her pug so I'm sending this card to her as a get well. :-D
I enlisted my granddaughter's help in getting a photo of Eva so that I could do the coloring to match her. Here's what she sent.
The little black kitten is Luna, a recent addition to the family and she immediately decided that Eva was her new momma.
Here's the card:
I used ProMarkers to color the image with added highlights done in gel ink. I cut the image, the mat for it, and the sentiment with Unbranded, cross stitch dies. Everything went onto a kraft card base.
I added metal brads to upper and lower corners, then left it alone, adding no other embellishments. I wanted the image to be the focus of the card.

Oh my! The face on that sweet Pug is darling! Your card is so pretty!
Your colored version looks just like Eva, Connie! Beautifully colored. It's a fantastic card she is sure to love. I am partial to black cats - before our current German Shepherd, we had black dogs, too, and even our cows were black! Our kitty is black with a tiny white star on her chest. Thanks for sharing about your fur-family! hugs, de

So glad to hear there is nothing life threatening, but I know how awful whiplash can be. Fingers crossed for a speedy recovery - which I am sure this awesome pug card will help along.

NanaConnie, by now I hope your grand-daughter is getting better day-by-day. Even such a simple thing as whiplash can be a right so-and-so to get rid of. I had it once and I was off sick 7 weeks. I am sure your card helped cheer her up. The real pug is a cutie. Your card fits perfectly the Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamps Inspiration and Challenge Blog Monthly Challenge this month. Even more fantastic is that you have used one of Ching-Chou Kuik's digital stamps.
Thank you for entering, best wishes in the draw and for your support of this challenge. Kym (Ching-Chou Kuik Digital Stamps Blog Challenge and Facebook Challenge Design Team Leader)
Darling image, very nice. Thanks for sharing with us at The Paper Funday Challenges and best of luck in the draw. Donna - DT Member
