Happy Tuesday!
Quick little post for you today as we kick off another fun challenge at Tuesday Throwdown! Our theme this week is New Addition and our awesome sponsor is All Dressed Up!!
We were provided with some super cute images, but I decided to use an older image for my card called Cute Got Cuter. It doesn't appear to be in her shop anymore though...but look at that face! He's so sweet!
I kept the layout pretty simple and just added a few glitter paste chevrons and some silver foiled chevrons. I had a ton of those cut out from a project I did awhile ago and have been trying to figure out what to do with them. Turns out adding a bit of glue and then covering each chevron with some foil works great! And now they are pretty embellishments!
I decided on watercoloring this sweet pup with my Inktense pencils because...well...I'm obsessed with those now :) The paper I used wasn't all that great and it didn't move the color around as nicely as I wanted, but I think in the end the image turned out cute anyhow!
I wanted to keep the sentiment relatively simple so I chose this adorable little saying from a Hero Arts set and embossed it in Liquid Platinum onto vellum. Flagged the end and stuck it behind my little pup. A few black splatters before assembling everything helped to finish off the card!
Be sure to stop by Tuesday Throwdown for this fun challenge!

I'm late...eeek!! I have the honor of being a guest over at Send a Smile 4 Kids for their challenge these next 2 weeks and I totally forgot to post my card! So sorry, the weekend just sort of slipped away from me.
Send a Smile 4 Kids is an amazing little charity that collects handmade children's cards to be distributed to children's hospitals across the country. I really encourage you to check them out, and consider sending them some cards. It's so hard for a child to be in the hospital, but receiving one of your adorable handmade cards would surely put a smile on their faces.
So the challenge this week is to use Pastel Colors! They have 3 amazing sponsors lined up: Milk Coffee Stamps is giving their winner 3 digis
of their choice! The Cutting Café is giving their randomly picked winner 3 digi or
cutting files! And All Dressed Up Stamp’s winner gets 2 digis of their choice!
I got to work with a super cute image from All Dressed Up called Daddy's Little Helper.
He is such a cutie!! Pastel colors for a boys card are always hard...well boy cards are just hard. So I decided to stick with the blue/green/yellow combo and did some fun watercoloring for my background paper.
The image is colored in with pencils so that it stayed nice and soft. I didn't do anything super fancy here...the background took the most work and the rest just fell together really easily :)
Hope you will stop by Send a Smile 4 Kids and join in the challenge!!
