This is one of my favorite images. It is by Morgan Fitzsimons. It is not available in her store right now, but may be soon, Creative Art Design Studio.. I colored the image with Luminance and Polychromos pencils. I used a 3D Stampin' Up embossing folder for the background, called Old World Paper. The paper was rather heavy and the folder had very deep crevices so I spritzed the paper before embossing it. After I applied the paper to the card one corner started to un-stick. I used glue to fix it. After drying the glue spots were showing through the paper in that one area, and me being me and hating to redo anything, I came up with a solution. I dripped baby oil in spots around the edge of the card and rubbed it in well with a cloth. I like the repair of my accident. I will do that again to help age the look of my paper. I remember seeing this image labeled Alsatian. I assumed it was a German Shepherd. I looked it up and it turns out that Alsatian is what it is called in France. I learned something.
