This week has been long, and heart wrenching. Our newly acquired family member, Owen, (stray rat terrier adopted from a park 3 weeks ago) has been sick to the point that we thought he was going to die last night....but this morning...a tail wag...that, is a sign of improvement. I don't know how much you know about Parvo, but its a terrible disease that dogs and sometimes cats, can get. There is only a 50% chance of survival, and there are no drugs to treat it. All you can do is push fluids and get nourishment in any way you can. So, I have spend my last 4 going on 5 days feeding my dog with a syringe and inserting an IV into his hip for fluids...after spending 2 days at the vet...Its touch and go, but we are hopeful.
So, today I chose to use Tobie for 2 challenges. The first, is for Cupcake Craft Challenges. Their theme was, "Distress". The second challenge this card is for is Cute Card Thursday. Their theme was, "whateva". Can't go wrong, right?
I distressed the edges of my different papers and cardstock with the edge of my scissors and then some sepia ink and a sponge. I colored Tobie with my copics and my red bic....reds and blues are next on my copic list. The papers were from my scrap pile. I beleive, but don't quote me...that this paper is from American Craft....but again...its been a long time...The accents are from Colorboc (1 dollar at Joann!) I am expecially proud of this card because I used my fun flok! This stuff is, indeed, fun! So, pup's ears and tail are fuzzy. I also popped out the pup to give more dimension to the image.
This second card is for The Creative Card Crew. Their theme was, "Cute And Girly". Of course, most things odd are cute and girly, but I chose Princess Mae (who was a freebie awhile back) because what's more cute and girly than a girl dressed up as a princess? I can't think of anything! I colored her with Copics. The papers are from My Mind's Eye and DCWV. There is also some scrap stuffs. I used Paper Studio bling to accent Mae's crown and then randomly on the card. To add some shimmer I used my stardust pen.

I love your cards, especially the one with Toby (I am working on him right now too and your colour scheme is kickstarting my mojo)
So sorry to hear about your dog though. It is heartbreaking when you can't explain to them what is happening and they can't tell you of they feel better. But at least he wagged his tail. I keep my fingers crossed that Owen will pull through
Brilliant card and such fab distressing! Thanks for joining in the fun at Cupcake Craft Challenge this week :) Donna x
