Graduation Groupies

A wonderful friend graduated from college last month.  She is a dog lover and has two that resemble the two white dogs in the top row of my card. 
 I stamped in black and clear heat embossed the image so I could color with Zigs.  They all got pink cheeks to brighten up the various shades of brown.
Supplies:
Stamps:  Mama Elephant The Dog's Woof, Lawn Fawn Simply Sentiments,  Happy3, Hats Off to You
Dies:  Lawn Fawn Speech Bubbles, MFT Basic Stitch Lines
Paper: Tim Holtz watercolor paper, PTI Green Parakeet, Pure Poppy, Hawaiian Shores
Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers:  Light Blue, Light Gray, Mid Brown, Beige, Dark Oatmeal, Gray, Yellow Green, Fluorescent Green, Brown, Light Carmine, Carmine Red, Dark Brown
Other:  Ranger clear embossing powder, SSS white detail powder

These pups are going over to play at:
Watercooler Wednesday Challenge 172:  Anything Goes
Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge:  Anything Goes
 
Thanks for coming over to visit!  I hope you are having a wonderful day!
