How adorable is this image from C.C. Designs – Itzy Inkies School Doggy?  So much fun to colour in too.

Quixotic Paperie - C.C. Designs - Itzy Inkies - School Doggy Card

Obviously this image is ideal for back to school and teacher gifts, or for scrapbooking those special school memories.  That said, he’s generally adorable, and I can see the apple being easily replaced with all manner of alternatives!

I’ve coloured the image with Copic Markers, and as usual, the list is at the end of this post.  The background has been airbrushed, again with Copic Markers (my air compressor has to be one of my favourite purchases this year, it gets used nearly every day).

Quixotic Paperie - C.C. Designs - Itzy Inkies - School Doggy Card Inside

 As usual, the inside of the card has been decorated to match the front.  I almost always finish off the insides these days, it doesn’t feel right otherwise! 

The papers and ribbon are all from Stampin’ Up.  I took advantage of the paper offer earlier this year, and have a huge stack of SU paper that I really should use more of!  So much pretty paper, so little time!

A number of my cards are now available to bid on over on eBay.  You can find them here, and one here that sneaked into a different category!  I will be adding more each week, and many of the cards you see posted here will make it on to eBay at some point!  I will pop a link in the sidebar a little later.
