Hi, Friends.....
I am here with a pet sympathy card I made for some friends who recently lost their much-loved dog. I know how pets can become members of the family and how hard it is when we lose them. I hope this card will help them know that others are sharing their pain.
The journaling card that I trimmed for a focal panel and the strip of doggy stamps are from Graphic 45's Raining Cats & Dogs series. Of course, I love their cat items, but sometimes dog images come in handy. The sentiment is from my Paper Smooches - Feline Friends stamp set that contains some items that are useful for canine cards, too.
Other supplies used include:
Versafine ink - Vintage Sepia for sentiment
Distress ink - Walnut Stain for inking edges of panels
Scraps from my stash for panels and mats.
Thank you for stopping by today. I appreciate each and every one of you.

Somebody I know will soon have a new puppy, following months of grieving the loss of a dear pet. I LIKE the idea of this card. Pets are family members, too.

Awwww, it's always so hard to lose a sweet furry friend and I know your friend will find comfort in this card. A more perfect use for this Graphic 45 collection couldn't be found.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful card and a beautiful thought to send your friends a card to let them know you were thinking of them. Love your card Janis. Love the vintage feel to your card and the use of the patterned paper with the animal images. Thanks for playing along this week at Just Add Ink. Rochelle xo
