I have to admit the bow came out as soon as the photos were done. I'm not a fan of making dogs look like humans.
Anyway, while Dexter was at the groomers, I made a card for this week's Paper Players color challenge. These colors look gorgeous together, so I was quite keen to get stuck in and make a card.
I started with some gloss white cardstock which I clear embossed with the En Francais background. Then I sponged with Daffodil Delight and Calypso Coral. Once I'd done that, I ran it through the Big Shot with the oval Designer Frames EF. The little flowers are made using the MFT Rolled Rose die. The leaves are a cut up Little Leaves sizzlet.
Onto the card:
And here is the challenge:

What great use of the challenge colours, Karren! Who knew Calypso Coral and Daffodil Delight could look so good sponged together?! Very sweet card. Dexter looks lovely and clean (how long will that last?).
Wow, Karren, this is fantastic! Love the embossed resist background - it looks spectacular, & the rolled roses are a perfect finishing touch to your card. Thanks for playing along with The Paper Players this week. :)
PS Is Dexter still looking white & fluffy?
