Man's Best Friend

Let the wind blow high, let the wind blow low......I do remember that song and OMG are the winds cold tonight!  There are only a few flurries happening, but the snow blowing off the fields......nasty!   So lets think of better things and better days ahead...

How about this little puppy.....he looks so peaceful and comfortable as he sits among the leaves and flowers.  Just one of the many beautiful images from Just Inklined, and you can find him here.

He was a treat to colour, and this time I've used both water colours and distress inks to achieve the desired tones.  The image and mat have both been edged in gold after being cut with my Nestie die.

A simple card to make, the patterned DP has been cut to fit each folded section of the card.  Then a stamped sentiment, and a stamped verse behind the image and I'm done, with only one little embellishment in the bottom corner.    Sweet.....it can even go in the mail!

Thanks once again for your visit and your lovely comments.  May your weekend be warm and sunny....or if not, may you stay warm and cozy!
