November's Artist Trading Card Kit of the Month, Man's Best Friend

Here is this month's kit.  It is a dog's themed kit that I'm sure you will enjoy.  You will receive this kit free when placing an order throughout the month of November 2015.

Here is what is included in this month's kit:
1 - 3 in. x 4 in. paper Bella Blvd's double-sided paper from their Rover Collection - Give a Dog a Bone
1 - 3 in. x 4 in. paper Bella Blvd's double-sided paper from their Rover Collection -  Loyal
3 - collage images that have been professionally printed.  Each kit will include either the white dog with the orange butterfly and the yellow hat with red dots, or the grey dog with the blue butterfly and the yellow hat with white dots.  Cut the dog, the butterfly wings and the hat out.  Then place the butterfly behind the dog's back and place the hat on his head to assemble your winged friend!  Then glue him to your ATC.
4 - small white jewelry tags.  I would cut the white strings off of them before you glue them to your ATC or glue the strings to the back and have the tags come over the top and then glue in place.
1 - collage piece that has the letters that spell "WOOF".  Cut each of these letters out, and glue them onto the 4 white jewelry tags.  You can distress the tags with brown ink to match the papers from this kit.
1 - cream with speckles paper that has a dog's paw print punch out of it.  You will also receive a mustard yellow 1 in. x 1 in. piece of paper to place behind the dog's paw print if you would like to use it for that. You could also use the cream paw print by itself or place it somewhere to show a different color through it.
1 - bronze or silver bone charm (silver not shown in photo)
1 - printed twill ribbon piece that has black paw prints
1 - white 2 1/2 in. x 3 1/2 in. trading card to use as your base
1 - clear artist trading card sleeve

 Here are the papers being used for this month's ATC kit.  The photo below shows the front and the back of each paper.  The one on the right is ""Give a Dog a Bone with the back side showing the paw prints.  The one on the left is "Loyal" which is striped on one side, and grey with drawn dogs on the other side. 

Here are the 2 different dogs that I created for this month's kit.  You will either receive the white dog with the orange butterfly and the yellow hat with red dots, or the grey dog with the blue butterfly and the yellow hat with white dots.
