Every Monday (yes I know it's Wednesday) my CCEE friends and I challenge each other here on SCS to make a card with specific requirements. Once a month we make one in honor of a stamper with an unusual name and mail the card to that person. This week it was butterflyears. And since Cindy (mothermark) found out she chose her name based on her dogs ears that look like butterflies, we were to make a card with two butterflies (two ears) and 4 paws (dog).
Supplies:
Stamps - Inque Boutique - Dog Lover, SU butterflies (1999 set..not sure which one), Tree leaves - Dee Gruenig Posh limited scene stamps
Paper - SU - Mello Moss, Always Artichoke, Black, Papertrey White
Ink - Ranger Black Soot and Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink
Accessories - Nestabilities, decorative scissors, I kan'dee, American Crafts ribbon (from my dear friend Laurie), scotch dimensional tape

Tosha, I first would like to thank you for choosing me for your monthly CCEE challenge. I am thrilled and honored.
Your card is simply amazing, the outdoor dog scene that you've created is so adorable. The coloring perfect, I really like the colors that you've chosen for this card. I also really like the layout, the corner, the rickrack, the brads, the sponging is fabulous on this and last of all the sentiment circle tag "we all know how much doggies love to play". Absolutely incredible job and I will cherish every card.
