I stamped in black Versafine Clair ink, heat embossing in clear on mixed media paper; then watercoloured using Distress Inks. A silver pen was used for the dog's tag and name on his dish. I used the Diagonals (65-019) embossing folder with Real Red card stock, highlighting the raised design with more of the Candied Apple ink. The sentiment is from the same stamp set, stamped in Evergreen Bough several times until I got the depth of colour I wanted. A little red chalk for his rosy cheeks, and a dot of white for highlighting. :)
