A naughty dog and a splash of orange!

Good morning all and I hope that you're ok?  Wednesday already?  Thought I'd better put on a post before I finish doing those h****work jobs I need to do before heading off to work.  And hoping that Tilly the Dog behaves and I let her off the naughty step!  She's nearly 9 years old and has just discovered a new hobby that she's really enjoying - digging in the garden.......!  Even as a puppy she never used to dig so I (foolishly) assumed that she never would.  However, a couple of weeks ago I suddenly caught her in one of the raised beds where I'd taken the summer bedding plants out as they were looking a bit sad - and she was quite happily digging a hole.  Now I can't decide if she thought she'd join in and do a bit of landscaping for me, or whether she's feeling depressed, fed up with all our family, and has decided to perform a bit of a 'Great Escape' option and make a bid for freedom.  But the main downside of the digging is that she obviously feels so thrilled with her own efforts that she then gallops right through the house and then leaps onto the sofa - and I should point out that we have big soft squishy CREAM sofas (although in case you were concerned for my sanity, I did actually get those before the dog!).  I'm not keen on big muddy pawprints as an interior design feature - hence rather firm words being had, threats of rehoming kennels and Tilly the Dog being on the naughty step.  And to top it all, she's done it twice in the last couple of days - and just before I set off for work. Sigh.....

Right - Tilly the Dog tales over with for a while!  Sorry!  This card was a commission card - someone saw the cute LOTV stamp that's on a card on my blog header and asked if she could have a card with that on for her husband as he used to have a scooter he loved.  But she also said that he loved the colour orange, so please could the scooter be that colour! (And thankfully she loved the result!)

Now I wouldn't automatically have picked orange - but I think it looks ok!  I've coloured the image with promarkers and a touch of pencil

The backing papers are from First Edition.  The wonderful sentiment stamp is from Inkylicious and I've added faux stitching, a Marianne die cut flower with button from stash and a MemoryBox 'hanging star'. 

And the inside decorated to match. 

Hope you like it.

I'd better head off and finish those jobs - and keep a beady eye on that gardening dog....

Back soon,
