The additional element for Less is More this week is that it has to be a one-layer card, so I simply stamped this super group of doggies into the centre of my square card and embossed a frame around them with a couple of nestabilities. I coloured the dogs with pencils as I find copics show through too much on one layer cards and used a little smooch ink for the collars and ID tags. The sentiment is from Waltzingmouse (well it nearly always is with my cards isn't it!) These challenges were very well timed as I needed to make a dog themed card for a birthday coming up next week too - don't you just love it when a plan comes together ;-)
