Karen's Doodles Puppy Love


I did not get a chance to create with this image for Valentine's Day but I thought he would be perfect for anytime you needed a love/hugs card.  So here is Karen's Doodles adorable Puppy Love.  Just look at those big puppy dog eyes, isn't he just the cutest?

So I sized the image in Adobe Photoshop Elements and printed him onto Cryogen paper with my inkjet printer.  This is such a great image to color as the fur makes a perfect guide for shading.   Copics used:
Puppy - E41, E42, E43, R20
Eyes - E97
Heart - R81, R83

I followed this week's sketch challenge from SplitCoast Stampers, SC269.  What a great sketch, I love the diagonal pieces and all the layering. I turned the sketch vertical to accommodate the image.  I again used  paper from SEI, the Juliette collection.  This time I used a smaller stripe pattern and a floral.  Isn't it just gorgeous?  Finished size is 5 x 7 inches. 


And speaking of puppy love, here is my Zeke, a 7 year old basset hound I adopted from Bluegrass Basset Rescue in Kentucky at the age of 7 months.  Isn't he a handsome boy?  And you can tell he makes himself right at home on my leather couch!

He is great company while I am creating cards.  He lays on the couch and contemplates life, lol.

Beautiful card! Luv the layout and papers.

I've tried using my Copics on inkjet printers and the ink always smeared :o( Is your printer a photo printer? I heard that photo printer inks don't smear with Copic markers. Right now I use a laser printer and that doesn't smear.

OMG...Zeke is sooo cute! Look at those ears. I just want to pet his tummy. What a cutie pie!

xoxo,
Lori
