Doesn't the week just fly by!! I have used this adorable digi image from Heather Ellis at Digistamp Characters - I could not resist this adorable little boy with his dog - there was just something about that face! He is coloured with chalks. The image was then cut out and popped up on dimensionals, along with the dog. I always like to sponge around the edge of an image when I cut it out, or use a black pen and run it around the cut edge, that way it gets rid of any white showing (and covers up any 'oops' moments!)
I used DP that I had been sent in a RAK from one of my Twisted Sisters, Darla Ryan...I love this DP. The semi circle has 3 different DP's - one of them is embossed - I wanted to add lots of texture and dimension! It is layered onto black CS.
The strips of ribbon are actually torn card with window mesh layered into the top of them - this appeals to the recycler in me, I am always looking around for unique things to use on my cards - I also love the look of the mesh - it could not be more perfect with this card...then the screw brads are added to finish if off and also help to hold it all together!

P.S. Okay, Linda, how did you get those panels done???? I struggled and ended up doing a rectangular shape with a triangular middle piece. Thank goodness my card turned out okay, but I really try to stay true to the sketch. You did those panels great!!!
