I stamped the image onto tan mixed media paper using archival brown ink. I used my Prismacolor pencils to colour the dogs before restamping overtop to add more depth of colour. It took me a while to figure out the design for this card. It all came together when I found some lovely Christmas paper in my stash using the same tan and red from the main image. :)
Second card with a slightly different layout ...

Oh so cute. And what a fun pattern paper to inspire your designs, too.
Two beautiful cards, Loll. This stamp is perfect for many occasions, for Christmas as it turned out as well. I love this colorful background, it's fun and gives the card a festive look

Awww, these are absolutely precious, Loll! What a sweet gift from Susan. Your paper is perfect with the colored panel and almost as cute as the pups! Wally and LuLu rest their chins just like that when they're trying to be extra cute for treats or love. What adorable Christmas cards!
What a wonderful gift from Suzan! I thought the stamp was custom made because these pups look just like Jessie! Your coloring with the Blenheim colors brings them to life and makes them super adorable! And you found the perfect color-matching Christmas paper and made a great layout variation!
Merry Christmas, my friend!
