Birthdays at Crafty Calendar




 My second DT card today is for the July Challenge at Crafty Calendar, the theme this month is
 Happy Birthday

Again, I've used one of Mo Manning wonderful images, this one is a Patreon image.
The card is for my lovely friend (and Marvin's 'baby sitter'), she has a gorgeous dog of her own, a handsome long-haired German Shepherd, whose soppy temperament belies his looks! His coat has an unusual reddish tint and I've tried to capture that with my markers and pencils. The patterned paper came with the image, the sentiment stamps are MFT and I've added some stamped embossed paw prints, they'll remind Helen of just how often she has to wash her floors when the weather is bad!
Thanks for taking the time to visit my blog- and please check out the Challenge for details of the prize and some great inspiration from the rest of the ladies.
Have a good weekend
Chris

    That Mo Manning image is colored so tenderly, and the reddish tint you added to the German Shepherd’s coat gives the card a wonderfully personal touch; the patterned paper and embossed paw prints make this birthday design both heartfelt and full of character.

    That Dog is just adorable, the look on his face say's I've done something I shouldn't but wasn't really me. Think we both know the look. The DP is a perfect match.
