Dog Sketch Card - Newtons Nook AllBookedUp

Made this Dog Card using a sketch (can you see the vellum banners & 2 vellum panel layers?)which you can see below & mostly Newton's Nook items.

Used Newton's Nook Framework dies. Stamped (only top part with Dog no books), colored (used the dog paper colors for color inspiration), die cut, & trimmed the dog (should have trimmed more, oh well). Stamped, colored & die cut the cup & paw (used this to cover up the polka dots on cup & match the cup on the dog paper image). Added 2 pink gem hearts (most often it is recommended to use an odd number of embelishments but again I used dog paper for inspiration and added 2 pink hearts).

Figured I would add sentiment inside later.

Photographed with a mini figurine that I thought resembled the dog.
