Here is my submission for today's Technique Challenge: Unexpected Embellishments.
We have dogs and they are a main part of our everyday life. So, this was what came to mind for the "unexpected."
So you all are dying to come eat at my house, right?? I DO make a good chicken enchilada casserole and I don't even put any dog bones in it...
As I am taking the picture for this, my two year old lab comes running in my stamp room (where she is not allowed) and starts sniffing everywhere, trying to get to this card. So I guess I am going to have to box it up and send it away to another SCS dog!! Otherwise, it will be shredded in moments when she gets ahold of it!
The little dog and dish are mounted on dimensionals. Even though I didn't use the "I LOVE MY DOG!" stamp, I had to include it in the picture, because, after all, she was standing right there watching!
Thanks for looking!

This is absolutely adorable! I have this set and haven't used it in ages despite having a dog that matches the set to a tee! Now I have to pull it out and use it! Thanks for the inspiration! I'll be sure to keep Buster out of range...

HILARIOUS. LOVE YOUR CREATIVITY. One suggestion however. Don't send this to your boss.

This is such a cool card. Love your layout and all the extra details you added. I bet your doggie wishes it were for them. Enchiladas without dog bones, sounds delish!
