Good morning, it's the first Saturday of the month...that means it's time for a new challenge at Crafty Calendar. We have a lovely easy theme for you this month...'2 or more layers' and we're sponsored by the fabulous Dr Digi
I chose to use this fun image, Sofa so Good, it definitely bears a resemblance to my lovely Mathilda, who often sleeps on her back with legs in the air (quite unladylike!) and who would loooove to lie on the sofa but is not allowed to! We're not being mean...a Great Dane takes up too much room and as they're an extremely affectionate breed and like to be close to you it's not at all comfortable for any human who wants to sit there. Eleven stone of dog on top of you is a bit too much! She does have her own memory foam bed in the lounge though!
I coloured the image with copics ( Cool greys to look like Mathilda who's a Blue!) fussy cut it and placed it on the paper pieced sofa. In hindsight I wish I'd chosen a less busy pattern as it makes my eyes go funny !). The sentiment is a Penny Black stamp.
Here's a piccy of Mathilda sleeping (in a more ladylike position!) with her cuddly toy! She's such a big baby!
Please take the time to hop over to Crafty Calendar and see what my lovely teamies have been up to this month, and of course we'd love to see what you make of this month's challenge.
I'll be back shortly with another DT make.

Fabulous card, Chris. I love how you've paper pieced the sofa with paper that matches part of the background. TFS the photo of Mathilda, I'm not surprised that you chose the Sofa so Good image for your card. xx
