Digging Up Some Dirt Birthday Card

 

This month for the From the Heart Stamps monthly progressive challenge, Faith Skrdla has given us this adorable dog to work with. She even designed multiple sentiments to go with him! I get very excited at the start of each month to see what she'll design for us, and she never disappoints me! Thanks, Faith!
I started with a 5X7 inch Kraft card base and followed this week's sketch on the FTHS blog. I missed last week due to some job training and family stuff, but I usually always play along in that weekly challenge. Faith gives everyone a $1 store credit just for entering the challenge, so everyone wins!
I sized and printed out my digi and the sentiment that I chose from the same set using my Silhouette Design Studio software. I used Copic and MEXPY markers for the coloring, and die cut a grass border with my Silhouette. I also die cut the yellow panel with the vertical stitch lines on it using my Silhouette. I matched up the stitch lines for the panel I die cut with my digi on it, too. Then I stamped paw prints and dog bones with clear stamps from a Hero Arts set.

I'm entering this card in the following challenges:
