Mark's Finest Papers

I love this cute little doggie. I colored him with prismacolor pencils and gamsol.  I fussy cut him and popped him up on a Spellbinders oval circle.

My card base is basic gray and then I used some old designer paper from my stash. My card colors are from the Splitcoaststampers color challenge #371.  

On my middle rectangle panel I used the technique from Monday’s Splitcoaststampers “technique challenge”. It is called magical masking. I used masking tape and basic gray ink to create the background.

My sentiment is from this “fabulous dogs” set.  I stamped it on some die-cut pennants. I used some paw buttons to complete my card.

My layout is a case of myself from this card.

Well that's my sample for today. The next stop is Marilynn's blog.  Don't forget to comment for a chance to win these fabulous sets. See you tomorrow.
