Here is my year of the Dog card for Alex. It was a fun card to make and I hope she likes it.
I started off by making the mixed media panel. I stamped and embossed the dragon stamp, then stamped again with Rhubarb Stalk. Added some splatter stencil and clear embossed that. Finished by sponging red from the inside out and orange from the outside in. I printed and cut out this cute dog and cut it out with my ScanNCut and colored him with pencils. There I decided to clear emboss bamboo and throw in a strip of vellum with the Kanji stamps. A little bit overcrowded but fun anyway.

What a fabulous card this is Jennifer. Your bg with the bold colors and this wonderful embossed dragon is truly striking, and your furry little pup looks right at home here. You really outdid yourself with this challenge, and what a wonderful card to send to Alex. ~Karen.

How do you say BRAVO in Chinese? This is that word, whatever it is. Your texture on the pup is perfect and your Asian canvas worked really well. Beautiful work.
