Patti has asked her blogging friends to send her some much needed smiles. My card is hopefully going to provide a smile for Patti today. :) She set up a Linky party on her blog for friends to play along.
I used the Penny Black ... so loved set. This dog is totally adorable, I was smiling the whole time I was colouring. Not only smiles for Patti, but for me too! :)
Stamped in black and then watercoloured using zigs. Simple, right! Not quite, a little glitch when I was adding the wash for the sky ... touched the heart and red everywhere. Not to fear, fussy-cut the dog (which I was happy with), stamped the image again and just coloured the background. Paper pieced the fussy-cut dog on top, popping up his ears. Added clear wink of stella and glossy accents to give the heart some umph! And then framed all with a simple white frame. I was even able to get the zig to work on my sentiment stamp. First time trying that.
Here's a close-up ...
Stamps: ... so loved (Penny Black); happy snippets (Penny Black)
Paper: Mixed Media (Strathmore 140 lb. 400 series); White (Neenah 110 lb. card stock)
Ink: Black (Versafine); Zigs
Accessories & Tools: water brush, clear wink of stella, glossy accents, Rectangle Nestabilities (Spellbinder)
Challenge:

Your happy adorable colored and fussy cut doggy would make anyone smile. I am sure Patty will appreciate your thoughtfulness, my fried. Wonderful save too:-) Hugs...
Aww.. what a cutie.. he brings smiles to all of us too. I hope Patti settles soon and gets time to craft. The popped up ear looks so much fun.. what a great idea. Didn't even look that it was not the original plan.
Loll, this little puppy with the long floppy ears --well I couldn't help but smile when your newsletter arrived today. Am positive your card will put a smile on Patti's face. Hoping your friend will soon find a home--being ex military-- home hunting can be discouraging here in New Mexico. Hugs and smiles, Reva

Red is often my downfall! It seems to bleed more than any other color and there is no getting it to disappear! Your puppy is so fun and I know it will make Patti smile too!
Patti is going to LOVE that happy little guy. What a great choice for sending her a smile. Was so disappointed for her when I heard the news. I am positive it means something even better is on the horizon for them! Thank you for sharing your happiness on a card here! :) Hugs!
What a happy accident that turned into an adorable card. I feel so bad for Patty but that means something terrific is still in the works.
This floppy eared little guy is ADORABLE and is totally making me smile, so I'm sure Patti is grinning from ear to ear! You've colored him beautifully Loll and great save on cutting him out...perfect way to add dimension!! Fun, fun card and I'm sure Patti totally appreciates you trying to make her feel less sad while they wait for the perfect house to open up! :0)
How cute is this beautifully coloured pup, Loll ... he's adorable ... love how his ears are flying free in the breeze gently blowing through that sweet scene! Sure to raise a smile! Hugs, Anita :)
So adorable and your card would bring a smile to anyone's face. Glad you kept going Loll and learnt something about the zigs too. I am sure Patti will love it and she will be smiling, even through adversity.
How cute this is! That pup looks so good since you fussy cut. It gave him so much more dimension. Great fix on that! Beautiful coloring too!
Adorable card for Patti! It brought a smile to my face... I’m sure it will bring a smile to hers! Hoping she will settle soon. xx
Adorable card, Loll - so glad you were able to make the "save"!! (I bet you were too!)
Love this card Loll and that pup is so cute with those big ears. Nice touch with the shiny heart. A lovely cheer up card.
This is sooo adorable and it makes anybody smile, Loll! Your zig coloring is so good that the dog’s hair looks soft and fluffy! I would have never imagined that the fussy-cutting had a backstory. It turned out to be great with the additional dimension. Patty will sure love this card made with love! Hideko xx
What a little cutie. He would make anyone smile xx
This sweet puppy surely brings a smile to every face! Beautiful colored!
Such a sweet card, Loll. The dog looks so nice placed in the window. And I love the shimmering heart, it's great.
Hugs,

This cutie is full of smiles, I hope your friend finds something better :D
This guy is adorable, filled with positive thoughts, a beautiful background too! xx
Adorable dog (of course I love it as it's a spaniel!) and such a fun happy image with the butterflies and heart. Great save by fussy cutting the dog - and a good idea to pop up the ears!
What a cutie, Loll. Sure to make Patti and everyone else smile. I'm sorry I missed the Linky Party.
