I so love this image from LOTV , wrong kind of dog, but sums up my brother and his 4 legged canine friends from as far back as I can remember, our dogs and now his dogs have always been his faithful companions and friends. Growing up we had German shepherds,a poodle, and Heinz 57 breeds but not all at the same time and each and everyone was truly loved . My brother carried on with his dogs and he too has had his share of Heinz 57's and German shepherds too and all equally loved and when they leave for heaven take pieces of him with them but leave a little bit of themselves in his heart.
My brother has a birthday coming up and I thought this would be perfect. I coloured with promarkers and kept to a simple colour palette of blues and browns.
The papers are from my scrap folders and so am not sure who they are designed by(sorry). I mounted the image and the strips on scraps of pearlised blue paper so they have a bit of shine but not blingy as that wouldn't go down well with my brother.
The sentiment is cut using a Britannia word set from brown wrapping paper as I thought Kraft would work well only to discover I didn't have any Kraft paper so improvisation struck, well I guess its Kraft paper of a sort. 
The buttons are also cut from the same paper with my new favourite die which is by X-cut from docrafts and at £2-50 from the range I thought it was a bargain. Well that was my excuse and rationalisation for buying them anyway.I also used a corner pinch on the base card and image.
