Isn’t this little puppy too cute? I adore ElzyBells images, and have had several of them for quite some time. Only they’ve gone unused until now , I know. Don’t we all have stamps and supplies like that though? Come on, fess up- I *know* you do too!
I also pulled out my Copic Sketch Markers after a too long hiatus. I love the shading, shadowing and just plain vibrant colors of these markers. I feel like a ‘professional artiste’ when I use them – even if I’m not trying for any special effects! 
Here, though, there is a little shading on the flower pot and the sunflower leaves. I also created the boards on the doghouse by using a lighter shade on a darker shade. And, of course, I added the spots on the puppy.
To go along with the spotted puppy, I used the small polka dot Stampin’ Up! Backgrounds Texturz Plate, along with an image from the NEW set Circle Circus. And doesn’t the NEW In Color Crushed Curry Polka Dot Grosgrain Ribbon look like droopy doggy ears? There are TWO New In Colors showcased here – Dusty Durango and Crushed Curry. I also sponged some Garden Green ink around the edges of the same color base layer – it gives a nice, finished look as well as drawing your eye to the focal image.

Garden Green is not the first color I would think of if I were asked to pick a color that says, "Summer" – however, as you can see by yesterday’s and today’s posts – I’m a Summer green mood!
