Decided I was up for the sketch challenge after taking a piece of scrap cardstock & cutting the pieces to get idea of what cardstock to use for arrangement of sketch. Chose the dogs pattern paper since I have 2 fur girls and the colors of the dogs on the paper complement my dog's since one is lighter in color, the German Shepherd/Husky Mix, and the other is darker, the German Shepherd Mix.
