Penny Black Saturday Challenge 19

Another great response to last week's challenge and you all came up with fabulous cards for the "Thanks a Bunch" theme....well done everyone.
The challenge this week on Penny Black Saturday is to make an

"ATC" (Artist Trading Card)
a little work or art to be traded with fellow artists or given away but never sold
dimensions 31/2" x 2.1/2" portrait or landscape
I have been dreading this challenge and I struggled big time because I have never made an ATC in my life....such a small space to work on ...what was I going to do....well I decided to do a set of three ...basically so I could fit everything on......hope this is allowed and I don't get my legs slapped by the rest of the DT.

I went for a doggie theme and how true this sentiment is......Buddy has been chancing his luck big time since he returned from his holidays...digging in the garden and coming back into the house with the muckiest of paws...then yesterday he ran upstairs and jumped up onto my pale cream duvet cover......well even he didn't anticipate the explosion that occurred...he jumped off the bed and stood looking at the latest designer bed linen..."Cream with Muddy Paw Prints" ...with his big brown eyed innocent look....."Gee Mum....who did that?" He got the mother of all talking to's ...pull another stunt like that my lad and it's DOG BORSTAL....to be honest it went in one ear and out the other......1 minute later he's fast asleep with not a care in the world.....never mind.... IT'S A GREAT LIFE....it's certainly A DOG's LIFE.
