When I saw the dog on the inspiration, I just had to pull out a calendar that my aunt sent a picture of her sweet dog to get added to the calendar. He was published for August and I just had to save the image. He is perfect for a birthday card for her so this will be in my mom's Christmas box to give the card to her sister. He is sitting on a bed with lots of blankest around him and perfect for the Virtual Stamp Night challenge.

I cut the image with a stitched rectangle die cut then layered on a plaid to pick up the plaid in the image. I then added a few hearts and this really funny sentiment. My aunt will get a kick out of this card. The sentiment is popped up on dimensionals and the hearts are finished with a few light blue pearls.
