and the inside:
How about that for a vibrant purple card?! The back panel was made using the Ghosting Technique. Something I've never realized had a name for. But it was a lot of fun to do, and it only took two tries to figure it out! LOL! I took Wilted Violet DI and smeared it directly onto the panel. Then used different stamps to randomly stamp with water, heat setting them right away. (a bone, a fire hydrant, and a heart with a paw print in it, same one used on the inside of my card) The doggie stamp was chosen because it looked most similar to my fur baby, being all long furred and always smiling. See?
My sweet boy!!!
He's actually a Golden Retriever/Chow mix, but he looks and acts like a Golden. Soooo playful!!
Anyhooo, I stamped paw prints in the corners, then doodled the outline around the doggie. A simple sentiment on the inside and I was done!
Thanks for visiting, and I hope you have a great day!!

Very cool card, and I love the purple... like th epurple tongue of a chow! Growing up, we had a chow, a Dobie-mix, and they had puppies... the pups all had that tell-tale spotted tongue! :) Again, cute card, and thanks for the inspiration... I'll have to make my Andy a card from his fave child... haha... Millie the hound!
