BOOP - A Card for Lost Coast Portal to Creativity's Challenge 200 - Cats and Dogs!

Greetings! Here's my second card for Lost Coast Portal to Creativity's August Challenge 200 — Cats and Dogs. If you've been to my blog before you probably know that I'm a bit of a crazy cat lady. So this card is a rare occurence for me as it uses a DOG stamp, specifically the Pokey Dog Rubber Stamp by Lost Coast Designs! There is something so endearing about his floppy ears and bug-eyed expression that just appeals to me.

Here's the card.
