WnW86 ~ Favorite Color Combination

Hello friends & followers!  So happy you could visit my blog today.  Today's card was created for Wags 'n Whiskers Challenge 86 - to make a card using your favorite color combination.  My favorite color combo is sky blue and chocolate brown, so I used the adorable Ansley's Surprise digi image and created this card:

I don't know what it is about this color combination that is so soothing and so heart-warming at the same time, but it just makes me happy, I love it!!  Little Ansley and her surprise puppy were colored in with Bic Mark-Its (I soooo miss my Copics!!) and I was psyched to find an already embossed piece of bashful blue cardstock in my scraps stash (which is all I am able to use to craft with until we are moved in and unpacked) along with some snowflake patterned paper by the Paper Studio that I picked up from Hobby Lobby.  The silver pine accents, blue button and cord are left over from Christmas Card kit from a club to which I belong (revisit on Aug. 31st to see the contents of the kit and what all of the participants made with it!!).  It felt SO nice to make a 'fancier' card than I have been used to since I had to pack up my crafty supplies.
     This card also fulfills the requirements of the following additional challenges:

• Totally Stampalicious Challenge - Use your favorite Color Combination,
• Great Impressions Challenge - Use an Animal, and
• Critter Sketch Challenge 128 - Use a Digi Image.  

     Hope you will play along with us!  Wags 'n Whiskers' digi images are not required (though we love to see them and you are put in a 2nd drawing for a free WnW digi image if you use one) and one lucky participant wins a Wags 'n Whiskers stamp - how cool is that?!!  You could pick up a Ansley's Surprise of your own!
     Have a great weekend everyone!
