Walkies!

 I'm back to tell you about this week's challenge at Passion for Markers and this time we want to see 'Cute Animals' on your projects please

Di's Digis is our sponsor and she has tonnes of cute animal images to choose from, but in the end, as an owner of a very cute l'il Westie, I just had to opt for this image which I flipped and coloured one in blue and one in pink (Spectrum Noir Tri-blend markers). I made them into a 'Triple floating diamond card' - following Sam Calcott's YouTube video

Unfortunately there haven't been too many walkies  for us recently due to the heat! We are waiting for some cooler weather and then I think there will be some marathon walks in order!

The finished card was a bit tricky to photograph - sorry about the background of the back of my house!
