My great friend's beloved Miniature Schnauzer, Taz, passed away this week and I wanted to send her a card with a Schnauzer image. I purchased this sweet one from Etsy, where I also saw many pics with a similar watercolor treatment. That was my inspiration for this card. I printed the image on watercolor paper, penciled in the colors here and there and then gently wet each area. Added a wash around the pup. The sentiment is typed using Gloss and Bloom font.
I also did one trying to use a rainbow theme as in the Rainbow bridge, but I like the blues/purples better so when with that. I added a small pic of the rainbow card front just for fun. After I printed on watercolor paper again, I merely streaked overlapping the yellow, blue, red and purple across the image with my very very old set of Crayola watercolors. I need a better set, but I do this so rarely it's hard to make the investment.
Thanks for the challenge Lisa. The timing was perfect. Hope you all are having a perfect day. TFL

Debbie, this is such a beautiful card and awesome colors/coloring. I remember when our Schnauzer died. It was so painful. Your friend is sure to LOVE this card.
