I started this card by piecing a couple of patterned papers onto the White, cardstock, card face; anchoring them with honey-threaded, straight, machine stitches; and wrapping their connection with a length of white, seam binding ribbon, tied, in a bow, near the right edge of the card face.
I then framed a hand-cut, from patterned paper, "MERCI" panel with a bit of Whisper White cardstock, as well as more honey-threaded, straight, machine stitches, and popped it off the center of the card face, just to the left of the bow, with foam tape. Its bottom left corner was then embellished with a sweet puppy which was black-embossed on watercolor paper and watercolored with Pumice Stone Distress Ink. I then hand-cut him out, popped him up with foam tape, and added a little, bouncy ball behind him. The ball was created in the same way as the puppy himself with the exception of being watercolored in Daffodil Delight and More Mustard inks. I also couldn't help but tuck that stamped, in Jet Black ink, on a vellum, banner die cut, "WOOF" in behind that cutie.
Then, just before I did my stitching, I also stamped a hand-cut, Whisper White, cardstock pennant, in Jet Black ink, with the "you're DOG-GONE awesome" sentiment" and secured it, near the bottom left corner of the card face, flush against the patterned paper edge.
