The Challenge 22-Ruff You

The Challenge is back with a new sketch and color combination!  You can choose to use either just the colors, just the sketch, or to combine them both.  I combined the colors and the sketch, flipped on its side, for this sweet dog themed design.

I used a pair of dog images from the Paper Smooches Paws for a Cause set.  They were stamped in brown pigment ink on a white panel with a green cardstock strip along the bottom.  I stamped a tiny heart from the set in red pigment ink between the two dogs.  The "ruff you" sentiment in the top left corner of the panel is a combination of sentiments from the Paws for a Cause set and the Sweet Hearts set.

I adhered the panel to a chocolate cardstock panel over a piece of star patterned paper.  The left side of the chocolate panel was dressed up with a bit of white paper doily and a strip of red grosgrain ribbon.  The elements added some texture to the simple design.
