Bookendz card

Got a real quick post today. We've got our monthly book club cyber meeting tonight for Bookendz. This group was formed by Suzanne Dean for crafters who also like to read. You can find it on the Color Me Creative Classroom website.

This is our fourth book I believe. They have all been great. This month it was Emily and Einstein by Linda Francis Lee. If you like to read, come join the fun.

This is my card for the theme. I've used a cute dog image from K 'n K designs. After coloring it with copics, I went over him with a washcloth dipped in blender solution to give him some texture. The dog in the book was white, but had wiry fur!

My sketch is from the Outlawz Wednesday sketch challenge for this week.
