For a puppy-loving coworker, a french bulldog card was the only way to go.
Sketch it!Cut it into sectionsAdd bottom bits that will be covered with layers and layers of paper for depth (creepy puppy face!!)Add details- eyebrows, skin folds to shape the eyes. P.S. that is my most favorite pencil, had it since 2nd grade!!Completed and ready for allergy-free loving
I always add my details in colored pencil/watercolor pencils after the card is assembled. I opted to use brown with orange and yellow highlights to give the eyes life.
Look at those eyes…
I must admit that I have never been very good at figuring where to add the shine on eyeballs…so usually I just guess and hope for the best. * I know my pictures suck. Perhaps I should buy a fancy camera…or maybe I’ll save that cash for these instead. Ya, those…
I own a lot of paper and I’m generally incapable of giving people store-bought cards because of it. So, I’ll try to post entertaining card construction projects from time to time.
How exactly do you top a birthday card of your cat with fluffy underbelly exposed for maximum petting? The short story; you don’t. Instead you try to create something that is soooooo badass they are in completely different categories, defying comparison.
*Metal riff and pyrotechnics E X PLOSI O N ! = Bad Ass
Napkin, Felis catus fat-assicus = Cute, fat-furry belly having house cat!
*fart noise and Meow-Mix rain! = Fat Ass
Look at that fluffy belly!
Though both are types of ‘ass’ they are not on a similar scale for comparision. Like Apples and tribbles. Please excuse my crappy cell phone pictures. Next time I’ll shoot some pretty one…but there are no promises…I am an arteest*!!

But every story has to a handsome, brave….orange…hero
Sir Napkin the Dragon Slayer
Yes yes, he is quite handsome until he eats my houseplant and barfs it up on my kitchen rug. LOVE YOU NAPKIN!
