For my card this week I opted to use this great image from Teddy Bo thinking he would be perfect for a masculine card. I coloured him with Copics starting with the fur so that I could add some texture to it by usingg some of the Copic blending solution on a piece of old towel and holding it to the coloured image. The finished result is hard to see but if you zoom in you will notice that it really adds a wonderful touch.
 
The papers are from the recent PB&J collection from Basic Grey which is sure to become a favorite of mine. I loved the clean lines of this sketch and did not want to go to town with the embellishments so I opted to raise the image on foam tape and added a little sentiment tag which can be tucked behind the image.

 
Here is an extra peek so that you can see the tag.
 
I hope that you will join us in the challenge, I look forward to visiting your blogs to see your creations.
 
Happy Crafting!
