My dear neighbor recently lost one of her beautiful, furry friends. A gorgeous fawn Great Dane by the name of Zsa Zsa. She was a sweet and gentle soul of 8 years and we're all so sad at her passing. The loss of a pet can be so devastating and I wanted to let her know how sorry we were. I had the perfect MFT (older) stamp to create a sympathy card for her.
I used the sketch from a couple of weeks ago to inspire me.
I dusted off my Copics (yes - they have been sitting dormant for about a year) and dove in! It took me about 8 days from start to finish to complete this card. Having a six month old (plus 2 older kiddies) leaves very little time for crafty fun but I just kept chipping away at it slowly. I stamped the image with Momento Tuxedo Ink and colored it in. I kept everything VERY simple and easy. I did, however, also dust my sewing machine off and put that back into action for the heart and perimeter of the main panel. I used my deliciously fun Prismacolor pencils to create the grass and some fun paper strips for the little flags.
I used my favorite and always reliable
Signo Uniball white gel pen for the faux stitching on the outside of my panels. The scallop was created using MFT's
Wonky Scallop Die-namics and the heart is from the
Hearts-a-Plenty Die-namics.
My almost 9 year old daughter also created a BEAUTIFUL card to share:
So sweet and I loved her 3-D flower stickers!!
I hope you all have a wonderfully crafty day!! Until next time my friends!!!
Crafty Hugs!
