Okay, the whole dog part through me a bit. At first I did not think I had a dog image. I realized that I do have one. It is in the Flourishes set called Chairs. Isn't this the cutest little doggie ever? LOL!!!

I am also using Flourishes Gerbera Daisies set for the sentiment. I thought the elegantly written Friend says it all.

As for the color requirement, I am using all basicgray ambrosia cardstock. I did try to tone the hues down a little with some ranger antique linen and tea dyed inks. I think it worked. I was concern it was so bright that if anyone viewed my card they would get retina burns....lol!!! I colored my little doggie image with Flourishes Copic Color Collection using Warm Neutrals, Daffodil, and Tiger Lily. I used Flourishes Classic White cardstock which is wonderful for coloring with copics.

So here is my Dog Days of Summer card!!! As always, thanks so much for stopping by!!!
