Big Doggie Hugs

New challenge at 

The Crafters Cafe.

The theme for this round is

Use Borders or Use Metal

The sponsors for the challenge are
QKR STAMPEDE and
DeCosse's Dynamite Doodles

I'm going with borders and a little bit of metallic.....
For my card, I'm using QKR Stampede's image 'Doggie Bone' and I used color pencils on the image.  I then blended Cracked Pistachio and Broken China Distress in the background of the image.  I cut a plaid piece of paper from Recollections and a teal piece of card stock to use as frames/borders.
The sentiment is a pale blue cs stamped with silver embossing paper with a MFT clear stamp and cut with a stitched die.
The BIG HUGS was cut with a Simon Says die out of Silver metallic CS. All of this was set on a brown CS front with faux stitching with a white gel pen and then added again to a pale blue side fold cs base.

I would like to add this card to the following challenges if I may
