The limited supply challenge for today was to use a circle type tool. Any stamp set, ink or embellishments.
We are a dog family with a Brittany and when I saw this stamp set I immediately thought about our son's comment that he would someday have a golden lab. This little pup looks just like a golden lab. The stamped image was received today in a swap from Christine *chrisations.ink* as well as the fun black and white ribbon. Thank you Christine!!!!
I coloured the image with pencil crayons and used crystal effects on the pup. The end results of the pup in real life is wonderful with the raised glass like finish. Matted with apricot appeal and always artichoke. The same for the 1/2 inch circles. The base is bravo burpundy.
We will be sending this card with a care package to our son in the following week.

Love this card!! Really want to get this set. I love the ribbon, and the way you put the circles under it. Great colors. Hope your son is in college and not deployed, but either way I"m sure he'll love this card and his care package.

Such a sweet card. I wasn't just tempted by this stamp set in the catty, I *bought* it mainly for this image even though I haven't used it yet I've used the apple crate stamp once...so many stamps, so little time.

As I am sitting typing this, our black lab puppy Olive is chewing the edge of my sandal! Love the layout, and the image is so sweet (though not quite as adorable in real life!...alot of our shoes are in jeapordy these days)!
