I recently contacted Laura about the sad passing of her lovely dog Charley and I mentioned that I haven't considered getting another dog since we lost our beautiful Shannon 11 years ago because the sadness at the time was just awful and I'm not sure I'm up for that pain again - Anyway, this is our girl!

I started with one of the artsy papers and rotated so the small stain was at the bottom. I then used the dog transfer as a clipping mask and clipped the second paper to it as I just wanted to use part of it. I already had another page with this photograph so I'm not sure what fotoblendz is used with the photograph but any of Anna's fotoblendz would work here. This is positioned on top of the transfers and paper. I then positioned a sketch brush which looks very like a retriever behind on lowered opacity. Sandwiched in between the transfers is the frame which softens the look. Likewise the ribbon is sandwiched in this way. The crumpled paper is on color burn, paw brush on overlay, wordart on color dodge. lastly I used the rectangle selection tool to take bites out the paper and frame to create strips added at the bottom in a little cluster with the bow and paper repeated.
Also used is heart brushes and skinny lined overlays.
