Happy Saturday - it's my daughter's 11th birthday today! I'd really like to turn back a few years because as she grows up we both get older. We are celebrating all weekend, she had sleep over company last night and I'm sure there will be some video games to be played today. Happy Birthday Jenny!
My card today was kind of a scary one for me, I so wanted this pup to look like Maxine our almost 6 month old boxer. Her coat is a dark brindle and I'd never tried that before, I think it turned out pretty good, I'll post a picture of her below so you can judge for yourself.
This is digital stamp set is a new release at K 'n K Designs today! I asked Katlyn if she'd ever drawn a boxer before and she said she'd give it a try. I sent her some pictures of Maxine for her model and I think she did a fabulous job!
Maxine on the card is colored with Copic markers T7, T5, E44, E43, E42, E41, YG67, YG63, YG61, YG11, BG0000. The patterned paper is digital and I found it at Sassy Designs, it's called Paws 2. The best part about finding the digital paper pack is it's on sale for 80 cents, I couldn't believe my good fortune so I felt free to go shopping and collected about 10 paper packs in all - score. The sentiment is from Raindrop Echo Designs.
I hope you'll stop by Katlyn's K 'n K Designs store to have a look around, she has a free with purchase set this month.
I also have a "Scrap Card" that I C.A.S.E.d from Andrea Walford, she did a tutorial on how to use your designer paper scraps on her blog. I thought it was a wonderful way to use up all of the digital papers I've been printing.

Love this image and you made it look just like Maxine ... you go girl! And Maxine is just like Charmin' bath tissue ...you just want to squeeze her ... she is the prettiest boxer's I have seen in sooooo long (I know that I keep saying that, but it's just so darn true).
Our family dog growing up was part boxer and I just LOVED him so much! We have friends that now have a boxer (Tyson) and he's also a wonderful dog.
I think Maxine is adorable and your 'Brindle' coloring is just perfect!!
You rocked these cards and she is one very special dog!! Brings back fond memories for me!!
Hugs,
Lis
