Not much coloring for this image but I did a little cool grey shading to the dog’s body and cerulean blue around the image above the grass green – Prismacolor pencils.
The stitching was done with the sewing machine. If you mess up with the first line, mess up a second and make them think you meant to do that!
To give the flowers and leaves a raised 3D appearance embossing was done using a metal ball stylus and a folded paper towel for cushion.
AleeneÂ’s tacky glue holds it all together and to the card. You like the doggie bones?

I LOVE the doggie bones. Took me a couple of minutes to notice them, I was busy admiring the rest of the card, but then they made me smile when I spotted them.
