I ventured outside the box (for me) and downloaded some new digi images from Whimsie Doodles. When I saw these images, I immediately thought of my daughter who is such an animal lover...especially her Golden Retriever, Bear. When Betty posted her Color Challenge (Creamy Caramel, Dusty Durango, Pretty in Pink & a neutral of choice), I knew I wanted to use them to create this doghouse card - the template shape can also be found at Whimsie Doodles. I paper pieced the doghouse, colored the images with Copics. I keep looking at it and think I'll add some Stickles to the flower centers and darken the water bowl to a brown shade...it's just lacking something like it is. Maybe I'll retake the picture after I get some shut eye. :-)
