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. :)

Adorable is right, Lolly! And you've used that cool e/f again, which I love on both awesome designs featuring man's best friend! Great detailing, too! Thank you for playing with your e/f for this week's I.D.E.A.S. and linking again to NBUS! Hugs, Dolly
I'm not one bit surprised those darling pups ended up being adopted by you, Loll! LOve your color combo today - and thanks for reminding me to play with D's IDEAS!

You rocked both of Jill's sketches, and the are perfect for the challenges, too!
Adorable! I love it!
You know I love these cards, Loll! This set is so dear and I'm glad you added it to your collection. It is absolutely adorable in your hands!
Two different cute PB dog images on these beautifully watercoloured cards Loll, and I love the red embossed with the Diagonals EF down the side on the first and as the background on the second, and similar beautiful colours on each..just fabulous cards, and the first with a sentiment which is useful for those birthdays when a card is sent a bit late...happens to me quite frequently..lol. x
New to you but an old favorite of mine, Loll. Those dogs are adorable and the way you colored them really brought them to life.
The pups are as cute as they can be and sure to bring smiles to their recipients!
That pup is just adorable and I love the way you painted him! You've mastered watercolor. This is just too cute!
Two absolutely ADORABLE cards Loll, and I smiled through the whole post too! Those 2 little pups couldn't be any sweeter and colored beautifully too! Hugs. :0)
These cards are so adorable! I love the bright colours and your colouring is amazing. Thanks for playing along with the topping at Seize the Birthday.
I love those Penny Black pups! So cute. Your colouring is fabulous and the images look great with the red embossed panels.
Two Doggone Cute puppy cards, Loll:-) I sure can't wait to have more time to create cute cards....still so busy with gardening, canning, walking, etc this Summer. I sure am enjoying all your sweet cards. Thank you so much for sharing:-) Love and Big Hugs, dear friend:-)
Two fab doggie themed cards Loll. I love the sentiment for your first and of course that fab EF you've used on both. Those Jill Foster videos are great for quick card makes. :)
That dog certainly doesn't look too sd that his birthday salutation was late... two gorgeous cards Loll, both of which made me smile
Blessings

Darling pup in his house, Loll, & you've colored him beautifully! Love texture and color of the background & the two sketches - so sweet!
I can see why you smiled the whole time you were coloring these sweet pups, Lolly! They are adorable and I love how the embossed panel adds wonderful contrast! A great way to keep us smiling, my sweet friend!
Loll, Those pups are just darling as are your cards. Just goes to show CAS cards work so well when you have the right images. Thanks for sharing with us at Seize the Birthday and have a great day!
Both cards are great. Love the smile on that cute doggie. The embossed red panels add to the design. I can see why you were smiling the whole time. :) Thanks for joining us at Seize the Birthday,
These are both so cute and the red embossing sets them off perfectly xx
Two adorable cards, love the designs, and your sweet pooch says it all!
So true: our doggie is our best friend too! I like your card a lot.

such adorable cards Loll, that stamp set is so cute ♥
So very cute! Love the bold red and great colouring!
Wow! He is really a man's best friend. I love this sweet pooch, as it is a pillow and he holds the guard in front of a kennel.
Hugs,
