Sweet Louie
When I saw this colour palette for TCR I knew I would have to use a photo of our Cocker Spaniel Louie. He has the sweetest face... even when he's being naughty it's hard to stay mad when he looks at you with those big brown eyes! He had just finished digging a hole in my garden when this pic was taken.
Painted my background on textured cardstock for something different and got out the needle and thread to stitch and knot the border. A few scraps and some doilies and finished off with some Prima flowers with some gorgeous covered buttons I just purchased from Sam at Purple Pumpkin... aren't they just scrummy!!
Thanks for stopping by :)
Wow! This is great, I love it - especially the painted background. And I have to agree, those buttons really are fantastic!
