Patriotic Thank You Pup -- Stella Says Sketch

It's another warm summer day.  I spent the morning running some errands, met a friend for lunch, then this afternoon I was in the craft room.  One of the cards I made was this thank you card for a friend.   I found this darling dog stamp at Bugaboo Stamps called Flower Puppy and he was calling my name to color up.  I just love Bugaboo Stamps!  They were the first digis I ever bought, quite a few years ago now, and I still love them.

Bugaboo Stamps has a Patriotic colors challenge going on right now, so I colored this Flower Puppy using red and blue to fit the theme.  I also used the sketch from this month's Stella Says Sketch challenge so I can enter it there too.  I just love it when I can double up on my challenges!

I colored the Flower Puppy digi with Copic markers.  The paw print card base was cut out on my Silhouette Came 3 with a file I found in the Silhouette Design Store.  The bones and sentiment are stickers from Hot Off the Press.  The stitched dies are from Die-namics.  I intentionally kept embellishments to a minimum on this card for easy mailing purposes.

That's it for this card.  Off to find some challenges for it:
