Thanks, Miss Boo, for the challenge of stitching or faux stitching. I chose faux stitching and did a running stitch around my dog image. And the doggie is done in the fading technique. Fun challenge.
My dog, Busca, is a golden retriever and that's why I chose the more mustard color for this dog. And she's a runner--nowadays only in her mind--and so is my doggie in the card. There's probably a treat at the end of that run!
Thanks for looking.

Being a golden lover for years and years, I couldnt let this one get by: totally fabulous card. They're runners alright, and your card captures their wonderfully free spirt so beautifully.

Susie! I saw this card only after I uploaded mine tonight, err, this morning.
I not only used the same "motion" technique, but also More Mustard! As my mother says, "Great minds think alike!"

Looks fabulous! I've never been able to figure out the fading technique. If you care to share directions, I'd be a happy recipient! Love how you connect with your dog on this design! Great work!
