Etsy Shop

This week I have some exciting news!  I wanted a piece of art that incorporated my baby, Winston.  I came up with this....
His silhouette is made up of all the nicknames I have for him.  I posted on facebook and had such a positive response I decided to open my own Etsy Shop!  I can now create custom pieces for anyone using their dog's silhouette and their nicknames, characteristics, commands, etc.  I send the file in jpeg format so people can print and frame, use it to make mousepads, calendars, mugs, iphone cases, ...any kind of photo gifts.  Plus by sending a digital image customers don't have to pay for shipping.  Who knows if it'll take off, but I had my first order within hours of posting, so fingers crossed!!  Please feel free to check out other examples at The Crafty Meerkat

On to my card for the week.  This is one of the newer Saturated Canary images called Tidy Up.  I just love colouring all her pleats and long hair!
Sorry, I coloured her a while ago and can't remember what Copics I used!

I'm entering her in the following challenges:
