Nose to Nose

I had so much fun making this card. I used Crissy Armstrong's adorable digi "Nose to Nose" that you can find at Whimsy Stamps. Doesn't that image just make you happy inside. So I just had to use my new ticket stamp set "Happy everything". (btw......Whimsy Stamps is having a great 25% off sale on their digis for the month of July. I always love to share a good sale with my friends. I'm such an enabler....lol)

Lately I've been trying to get out of my comfort zone by trying some new things. Well.......new to me anyway. My last card I tried my Tim Holtz crackle paint. For this card I used my new Friendship Ticket Sentiments & matching Ticket die cut. I also used my lacing brads & scrapper's floss for the first time (I've had them forever). And......I also did some "stitching" lines with some free images I've had forever & a day & have never used. Aren't I a big, big girl now. LOL

This is my card recipe:
DP is my very FAVorite......Bearly Mine Designs
Flowers, bling & swirl are from my stash
Nestie: Long Classic Scalloped Rectangles Small

Copics used to color this little darling are:
Skin: E000, E00, R20
Hair: E53, E34, E35
Blouse & bow: Y00, Y11, Y13
Jeans: B91, B93, B95
Puppy: E31, E34, E53, E57
Puppy collar: C0, C1, C3

These are the challenges I'm entering:
