On my stop of this hop you will find a sweet and cute card with a very simple copic coloring! I decided to cover the whole card front with the matching dog themed pattern, using the new paper pad from the January release. I gave a little personalized touch to the background with a couple of white paw prints. Then I created a soft inked panel to go behind the dogs where I simply stamped the sentiment.
