I loved the layout, the use of twill, and the *belt*. Very cool! I kept the same layout, hardware, piercing, and same basic colors. I used a different stamped image, added faux stitching to the piercing, and used the shaving cream technique instead of the faux suede technique.
I used soft sky and basic brown reinkers on very vanilla CS for the shaving cream technique. The brown/vanilla puppy panel is up on dimensionals, as is the sky/bayou layer.
