I made this card a couple of weeks ago for a friend that will have a birthday next week. She raises Bassets and they all seem to look like this - just SAD! But she loves them and I thought she'd get a kick out of the card. The whole time I was making it though I kept wanting to add the sentiment "missing you" instead of "birthday wishes"! The image is from Karen's Doodles and I really like it alot. I was able to add that little funky ribbon treatment since this will be hand delivered instead of mailed. Not a fancy card by any means.....but she's not a "fancy" person either so think she'll like it.
This is short and sweet today - but hopefully I'll be back up to par next week.
Thanks for stopping by...........

You say not fancy, but this is beautiful with that ribbon work, I have never seen that, but just love it. The basset image is wonderful and your friend will just love it.
Ah, so adorable and the image captures the essence of a basset. I think your card is beautiful, and I know you friend is going to love it.
Hope you are on the mend!
what a perfect card for your friend. I love how you used the ribbon too
Ooooh, that image is so sad and sweet and cute and cuddly. Your card is FANCY indeed - the lace treatment makes it so special and the pearlized paper looks great with embossing. The striped paper ties in so well. Always love your taste.
I am learning that embossing looks great on pearlized paper... I had made lots of embossed cards on pearlized paper for Christmas and they sold off like hot cakes.

Lynn, what an adorable card. I love the way you colored the hat in pink. Helps make the basset look a littl less depressed :-) they are lovely dogs! Another fabulous card

This card is just as cute as all get-out! That image is so typical of that breed of dog, but the hat completely cracks me up! Fabulous ribbon treatment too! Awesome!
Oh Lynn, this is just joyful! I LOVE the ribbon! I've been fiddling with a ribbon for the past 25 minutes, lol - wish it were easier to know how to do them! :) My mom raised Basset Hounds! How coincidental! We had 4 at one time and when they got to howling .......oh my, lol. HOpe your weekend was wonderful!
Love that ribbon and the way you used it. Happy Birthday to your friend, I am sure she will love this card.
Fabulous design with this well-dressed hound!! Too cute, Lynn!
