Friends Of Unity Blog Hop May 2023 ~ Inspired By

 Welcome.  Thank you for stopping by.  The May 2023 Friends Of Unity blog hop inspiration is "Inspired By".  My cards for this hop were inspired by my love for puppies and dogs.  I hope that you will join in on the fun.  Simply comment on each blog in the hop.  See the end of this post for your next stop.


The details for each card follow.
Be sure to check out the rest of the blogs in the hop for beautiful inspiration and ideas for card making.

For my first card, the hound dog is all ears.  I made this card using patterned paper and then added Copic marker coloring to him.  This card was made with tag layers over the background.

Sentiment:  I'm all ears.

This is a closer look at my first card.

For my next card, I am sharing a frenchie or pug puppy. This one includes only a touch of Copic marker coloring. The background papers bring in the color and contrast for this card. This card can be for most celebration occasions.
Sentiment: Hot Diggity Dog!

This is another look at the second card.
