Helmetier

Here's another of William Wegman's beautiful dogs.  I love these postcard images that came inside the 2010 calendar (which, by the way, I purchased for 50 cents after the first of the year!).
I've been experimenting with mixing papers from different lines within one company and also looking for coordinating papers from several companies that I can use on one card front.  These two papers from different companies both pick up a bit of the pink in the dog's helmet.  The flowers further emphasize the pinks and yellows in the main image, and the blue flower pulls the eye toward the bits of blue in each of the background papers.  A little round bling in the enter of each flower echoes the helmet eye-holes.  A handlettered and faux stitched title tag finish the page.
