BLUE CHRISTMAS AND JESS AND EDDIE

Hi all I have managed to catch up on some commenting and have taken a few photos of Jess and Eddie.  I am so overwhelmed by your kindness and your best wishes for Eddie, things are getting a little better each day, I will try and write more detail a little later, I thank you all so very much.

My card was made for a certain challenge but did not get posted so I have saved it for now, I thought it was to lovely not to show you all.
I have used an image from FITZTOWN called WINTER 8,  I have coloured her with graph it markers and copics for the skin tones.  The papers are LOTV and the sentiment is Kanban, I think.  The image and papers have all been mounted onto black card stock.
I found out recently that the dotty effect that I use for the fur has a name it is called Pointillism, when I received one of the weekly tutorials from Splitcoast Stampers it was featured on there, and there was me thinking that i had come up with a new colouring invention, lol. I also saw it demonstrated on Create and Craft when they launched the newest marker on the market Chameleon Markers, they looked nice but gosh a little pricey for me I'm afraid, besides I love what I have.
I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:
Now onto my pictures of the doggies, meet Eddie a 3 year old Maltese Terrier, he is much smaller than Jess and so lovable, until 3 weeks ago he had never been taken out for walk or had a lead put on him and never been socialised with people but he is the friendliest dog you could wish to meet. 
here is both Jess and Eddie having a good ole sniff around the garden. 
I will be showing some more photos as time goes on, Eddie had had a haircut as when he was first taken in by the rescue home his hair was matted, it is not the best of haircuts, lol, but I am planning on taking him to the groomers for a nice bath and proper hairdo, 

This is what a Maltese Terrier looks like with a full coat of hair, they have no undercoat so do not molt but can catch colds so when I take Eddie out he has a little coat on him
Eddie will not be looking like the one above but may look like this, as time goes on
Many thanks for visiting I will see you soon but it may be spasmodic for the next week or two.

Hi Lorraine what a gorgeous card, beautifully coloured. Ahhh Eddie looks gorgeous and such a shame that he has never been walked or loved you just wonder what's up with some people. I can't believe he's the same breed as that dog in the picture!! I think his hair will look much better like the second picture!! Have fun, Susan x

Such a lovely card creation sweetie. Eddie looks cute even with his haircut. Not sure a little boy should have the full coat version, it looks a bit girlish. Lol!!! So glad things are going okay for the two of them. Wait for the next instalments.

I'm so pleased that Eddie has settled in well Lorraine, he and Jess look like they are having fun exploring the garden together.
Your card is beautiful and I love the way you have coloured the fur - I've not heard of 'Pointillism', I don't watch Create and Craft any more because I always end up spending so much!
