Pet Sympathy

Good Morning everyone

Recently Ive had to make 2 pet sympathy cards, Ive kept them both fairly simple and used a lovely paw print die by cheerylynn (I think)

First one is for a cat.  I used a rich gold pearl cardstock for my base which has a leafy design in it, i cut to 6x6" and then die cut the scalloped border & paw print from the front edge.  I added an insert from a rainbow print paper and stamped the sentiment onto the insert so it shows on the front.  I stamped the cat onto left over rainbow paper, cut him out and added to the front. 

Just showing it side on, you can just about make on the design in the pearl cardstock, its years old from payper box

and onto a dog design

6x6" white linen base card.  I used a heart paw print stencil on the front with distress inks in cracked pistachio and evergreen bough, i also lightly inked the edge around the outside of the stencil which gave me an inked edge to the card.  I then die cut the paw prints from the middle and stamped my sentiment in grey ink.

I stamped the dog in grey and lightly watercoloured with distress inks shaded lilac and seedless preserve, cut him out and added to the front.  I used a ombre paper for my insert, added gold paint through 3 of the paw prints and edged the cardblank with more gold paint - sadly the photo doesn't show that up very well.

This photo shows the gold up much better.  I ended up doing this as glue was showing through one of the paw prints which wasn't good, the gold acrylic paint covered it nicely.

Items Used:

Paw print die

mft scalloped edge die

Paw print stencil

Tim Holtz mini crazy dog stamps

Katzelkraft cat stamp

Clearly besotted sentiment stamp

Distress Inks

Paperartsy gold paint

Pet Sympathy card

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:

Paw print heart stencil
