Mr. Spike from Doodle Pantry makes an appearance on a masculine Birthday Card

I'm working on some FUN cards this evening for Birthdays~I just love this cute bulldog called Mr. Spike!  The design paper, pre-colored image, sentiments, and bone accents are all from the set from Doodle Pantry called Mr. Spike.  I used some Chipboard letters, a button that had a red fire hydrant in the middle (couldn't believe my luck with that one!), and Crystal Stickles on the collar spikes.

The great thing about Laurie's' images is that since they're in png format, you can move all the parts and pieces around in your printing system and be ahead of the game by printing several images where you want them first, then add more embellishments afterwards.  Hope you will go check out her site!

Here's another card made from the same set with a different set of papers.  See how versatile it is?
