My Poor Little Guy.....

So, this is why I was unable to post anything yesterday......

  This is Rocky!!  I bought him about 7 months ago and he is a wonderful Therapy Dog.  He fit right in with our family.  Talk about personality!!! He cracks us up everyday.  Well, Rocky is just about 10 months old and was beginning to "hug" us a little too often (if ya know what I mean!!!) so he had to go visit Dr. Snip-Snip.. Poor little guy!  I picked him up from the vets early yesterday morning.  He was just a hurtin' little guy and had trouble getting around on his own, and since he is the "baby" that warranted some carrying up and down the steps and a lot of extra TLC!! That cone really hurt when you get wacked with it!

Rocky inspired me to make this card yesterday.  I just received some images last week from Elizabeth over at  Elzybells UK, her images just make me smile!!!

  The puppy image was colored with my Copic Markers E31 and E33.  The cone was colored with B60.  His little boo-boo bandage was colored with C1 and C3 and his "grounding" is with C1.  I am still trying to really learn how to color with my markers, but I'm pretty pleased with the outcome.  I sure wish Copic would have a class here in the Philly area..

I stamped the image twice so I could "lift" his head and boo-boo.  They are popped up with SU's dimensionals.  I also purposely did not line up his head perfectly so it has the illusion of him turning to the side a bit.  And even though you can't really see it in the photo, I applied Crystal Effects to his nose and boo-boo bandage.

The ovals are cut with my Nestablilities, the sentiment is from Papertrey Ink's Pond Life Sentiments, and the Pawprint is from Elzybells.

Full Recipe:

CS:  Close to Cocoa, Chocolate Chip, Really Rust, PTI white

DSP: Retired SU (can't think of the name right now)

Ink: Palette Noir, Chocolate Chip, Close to Cocoa

Extras: Dew Drops, ribbon, Crystal Effects

Stay tuned cause there is some Blog Booty coming your way!!!  I just have to gather the "stuff" and take a picture.  Also, for anyone living near me, I am having a Craft Yard Sale on September 20th.  I am cleaning house "Big Time" and you will benefit.

Thanks for stopping by!!

Oh, Rocky looks like a real sweetie! Dogs are just the best. Cute card too. This is the first I have seen of that particular Elzybell image. What a perfect image for your card.
