Puppy Birthday card

Here is a sweet puppy birthday card from the Mimi set by Penny Black.  I made this for one of DD besties for her birthday. 

I colored him with Copic markers.  I cut the image with Spellbinders dies as well as the matte.  I love it.  Can you see on the purple matte the embossed dots on the edge?  Gorgeous.  I inked the main image with Distress inks for some interest.  I stamped "for you" with the same butterfly and punched out with circle punch.  I then punched a scalloped circle that wasn't large enough to matte the entire image so I placed it to the side with scallops peaking out.
 
Hope you have a terrific day!  Thank you for visiting.
