Good Morning everyone.
Today im sharing a sad card to make, for a good friend who had to say goodbye to her furbaby.
6x6 white linen cardbase. I first stenciled the heart pawprints onto the card base using original distress inks in grey and black. I die cut a heart that was big enough to cover the large paw print to the right and stenciled the large paw print with red ink and then the rest with grey.
I then die cut the paw prints across the middle of the heart keeping all the little 'waste' bits. I added a piece of patterned paper to the inside of the card. I then closed the card and piece by piece and alot of patience i glued all the paw prints pieces back into place, so that they are glued to the inside of the card but when closed line up with the original die cuts on the front of the card - photo below will make more sense hopefully. I had to close the card and glue them in through the paw print die cut so that i could line it all up.
I then lined the die cut heart up in place on the front. I then stamped the crazy dog stamp twice and coloured him in, this is the stamp that looked the most like a little westie dog. I then fussy cut him out and added to the card front. Stamped sentiment to finish.
Hopefully you can see the heart behind the dog better here
a close up and this shows better the paw print apertures
And the inside. I picked a piece of sea patterned paper as the little man used to love his daily walks along the sea front. I added the second stamped dog here. Hopefully this photo helps make sense of how i glued the paw prints back into place so that when the card is closed they line up on the front of the card with the stenciled heart.
Items Used:
Elizabeth crafts paw print die
Paw print heart stencil
Heart die
Tim Holtz crazy dog stamp
Distress inks hickory smoke, black soot, fired brick
Bobunny paper
Justrite sentiment stamp
