Image is from squigglefly. I colored with copics and chalked the background to look like wallpaper. I glued cotton for the stuffing in the pillow. I tried to use a new cuttlebug border embossing folder but where the lines overlapped, it smashed my first line of embossing flat, and I tried to fix it and only messed it up worse, so that's why the bow is there. I think it looks out of place and I'm going to re-do this card.

OMG this is soooo funny and FUN! I think the bow is perfect there...after all...Nichole Heady, or some other stamping genius?!...said that a mistake is just an embellishment opportunity, hee! That cuttlebug template is fab! I LOVE how you designed the whole pillow-chewing incident! I have a black lab puppy so I think this is perfectly AUTHENTIC, hee!

Instead of redoing take the bow off and maybe make a bow out of the "stuffing" you know kind of like make lemons from lemonade. It is really cute. You could also do a pop up of another pillow with just a little stuffing coming out in one corner. The pillow could be in the lighter colors like the wall so there is a balance. My two cents.
