Faithful and Loyal Friend

Happy Tuesday all! Sorry I have not been posting much but I am still trying to unpack and get settled in here in Virginia. Seems like there is so much to do!!! I had to take a short break and play with my stamps....

I saw yesterday's sketch at Splitcoast Stampers for the CAS challenge and although I have limited supplies (since most items are still packed after our move two weeks ago), I had to play along! I don't usually do CAS since I love to add stitching. The movers, however, dropped my sewing machine and it broke. It will be a while before I can stitch again.

For my card I used the new release Paw Prints and Dog Sympathy from Our Daily Bread Designs. The paper is Neenah White which I embossed with Provocraft Spots. The image is colored with copics and cut out with Spellbinders Ovals and Lacey Ovals. I also incorporated this week's Shining the Light challenge at ODBD (using 3 letters from the word S-P-R-I-N-G). S- is for sketch, P is for Paw Prints, R- is for Ribbon, I- is for Ink, n- is for Nestabilities, and G- is for Green.

Thanks for stopping by!! I hope you are inspired in some way by my creation!
Have a blessed day!!

Off to do some more unpacking, painting, and working outdoors......

hugs and blessings,

What a great card! And, it does fulfil your Saturday Challenge! I love the layout and the coloring is just beautiful. I am so sorry to hear about your sewing machine! Maybe going a bit more CAS will be less of a time-burden until you get a bit more settled! There are beautiful CAS cards, and yes, yours is one of them!
