Lake Scene Pet Sympathy

Hi, everyone!  My card today will be sent to a dear friend and her family who lost their beloved fur-baby last week.  He loved to go swimming in a nearby lake and did so right up until he passed, so I chose the 'With Deepest Sympathy' set as a tribute to him.  The scene was stamped onto watercolor paper with Stazon Jet Black, then both water-colored and colored with markers.  The heart and sentiment on the side are from the 'Dog Sympathy' set. (Both stamp sets are from Divinity Designs, formerly Our Daily Bread designs.)  The 'Faux Wood' Technique was used on the card base: a blue ink pad was swiped in downward lines onto the card base and I used the pad to ink up the edges of the card for extra dimension. The scene was cut out with the Double Stitched Squares Dies.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Blessings,

Doggie Sympathy Card

Hi everyone!  Sympathy cards are never fun to make, but they are necessary as we go through life.  Not only do we miss our family members and friends, but pets can be like family members also.  My friend had to make a tough decision and said goodbye to her doggie of 14 years yesterday, so I made a card for her using the "Dog Sympathy" set from Our Daily Bread designs.  I know how much she loved him, so I used some heart cutting dies from Cheery Lynn Designs.

Once I decided which cardstock to use, I cut the heart frame first, then measured to see what size panel to cut for the scene.....after stamping and coloring with markers and ink pads, I glued the frame onto the panel with craft glue, since any adhesive strips would show through.
