You're Pawsitively Awesome

Here's my card for this week's My Favorite Things Wednesday Sketch Challenge.  I used some pretty bold and busy patterned paper along with the sweet dog-themed You Have My Heart stamp set for my design.

I stamped the girl and dog image on white cardstock, then colored it in with Copic markers.   After matting the image on green cardstock, I adhered it to a multicolored floral patterned paper panel.  The set's "you're pawsitively awesome" sentiment was stamped on a double-ended fishtail flag strip (made with a little creative die cutting!) and attached to the panel just beneath the image. 

I adhered the patterned paper panel to green card base, then added a strip of green houndstooth patterned paper (from the reverse side of the floral paper) to fill in the cardfront.  I hid the seam between the two papers with a narrow strip of yellow cardstock rescued from my scrap pile.  A trio of yellow enamel dots set just above the yellow cardstock strip added a final pop of contrasting bright color.
