All Bark, No Bite


Sometimes she comes across as a bit harsh. Sometimes she can get a bit grouchy. But my oh my, does she have the most beautiful and loving soul. She would do anything for anyone without a blink of an eye. What's that term called, all bark and no bite? This card is to thank her for all she has done in the past few months for me, without her I'm not sure how I would have gotten through some rough times.


The colors are derived from Wplus9's latest Color Cue Challenge-the deadline is today so I'm quickly fitting this in!


Supplies Used:
Cardstock: (White) Georgia Pacific
Stamps: (Peacock and Border from Magical Moments) Wplus9, (sentiment from Mega Mixed Messages) PTI
Ink: (Going Gray Pigment) SU, (Versamark)
Embellishments: (Rhinestone Ribbon), (Vintage Pink Glimmer Mist) Tattered Angels
Tools: (White Embossing Powder) SU, (Black Pen) Pilot

  7. Love your card...and the description of the person you are sending it too.... I have a feeling this person is fiercely loyal and that is probably why she barks some times...protecting those she loves :)!
