Every Breath is a Gift

I made this card using Cards in Envy sketch #10 that was posted on Facebook. The papers are from Basic Grey's Sugar Rush 6x6 paper pad. The image is a Phyllis Harris by Unity stamp. I colored with my Copic Markers. I used foam tape on the sentiment to give dimension. I am entering this card in WOW Wednesday at Cat's Creations. Leave me a comment for a chance to win a fabulous prize!

On another note, I decided to take Gracie on her first adventure. I took the dogs to our favorite place Woodland Cemetery. Gracie was so excited when I got the leashes out. We get to the cemetery and I turn them loose.
The clouds were so pretty displaying some color from the setting sun.
Gracie lopes off with the other two but she soon turns around to makes sure I'm still coming.
To only have had her since Thursday, she does really good coming to me when I call her and seems to acknowledge her new name.

I'm taking her to the vet Monday to check her out. I'll let you know what I learn.

    Loved that card Valerie! And I loved debating what background papers to use with you too! Sometimes that's hard business! :)

      Thanks Cassandra! I should have given you credit for helping me! You did get me jump started.

    Hey Valerie! I love this card but I think I may have confused you on the Cards in Envy challenge? The theme of the blog is "For the Birds" in which you need a bird or birds on the card. The sketch is just for inspiration on the Facebook page. While I love the card and your awesome coloring and all to keep others from being confused, if you linked in on the CIE blog I'll remove it but please leave it on the facebook page. :)

      Yes, I was having a brain fade last night! I think I already removed it but forgot to take off the link. I'll do that now!

      No problem. I get notices of the links via email and deleted from that end so we both may have deleted it. LOL. I love this card and the sky photo is beautiful!

      Thanks for commenting again! All did go well. They wormed her and gave her vaccinations. They did confirm she's a young dog and has been spayed...so I'll get some money back from the shelter! She weighed 83lbs! She should weigh about 125 or 130! She's not eating real good yet but she is eating! May take a little time to stretch that stomach back to normal size.

    Beautiful card...great job coloring that fabulous Phyllis Harris image. Looks so much like Kennedy! Glad that Gracie checked out OK at the vet and look forward to her filling out.
