For my card I was given the Cavalier King Charles Spaniel Stamp set to work with. I decided to go with a soft look, stamping the image with brown Memento ink and coloring in with pale Copic Markers. I used the BG0000 pen to sketch a soft, loose frame and then colored it in with the same marker and stitched a border around the edge to add a simple detail.
As I colored this, I kept having a sentiment run through my head so I added my own computer generated phrase to the panel using the "cookie" font before popping it up with foam and adhering the panel to my card base.
Now, I realized too late that I really don't know my dog breads so I colored this spaniel with the wrong coloring, but I was already committed. ;) Here's a snapshot of the colors I used.
