MY SHERI CRAFTS CHALLENGE #49 - MONOCHROMATIC

This week has been a rough week for me as I've had to say goodbye to my favorite (and only) little girl in the house. She was my 5-1/2 yr old Shih Tzu and the best dog ever! It was very sudden so I'm still having a rough time. It's amazing how attached you can get to those little guys?!?

I wanted to color something and I had these new stamps from JustRite Mother Nature's Gifts 3-1/4" set and picked one of the flowers to color and match the new DCWV paper I got last week at Ms. Coloring with my COPICs always makes me feel better.

I used a couple Martha Stewart punches and a pre-made doily cut circle. The larger accent is from my new Spellbinders Parisian Motifs that I just got yesterday.

Your card is beautiful! I love the spellbinders die as well as the colors and pretty papers you used. I am so sorry about the loss of you little girl. I lost my boy (cat) in Dec. and am still having a hard time. They are such a part of the family and our everyday lives.
