Pet Sympathy

 


Welcome
A friend of mine asked me if I could make her a pet sympathy card.
I had never made one of those before so, I decided to take up the challenge although I only have a few animal stamps in my stash.

So, here's what I did to create my card.
  • I got out my stencil mat and placed a piece of white cardstock onto it.  I positioned the Cloud Edger stencil over that and got out some Distress Oxide inks.
  • Starting at the top of the cardstock, I rubbed on some Broken China DOX ink along the edge of the stencil, moved it down and stenciled again.  
  • I wiped the stencil off and next inked with some Blueprint Sketch near the middle of the panel, again, moving the cloud stencil around to get variations on the clouds.
  • Finally, along the bottom, I inked in the same way with some Peacock Feathers ink.
  • I removed that stencil and placed the Rays stencil over the clouds and inked again using the same colours.
  • I die cut the middle of the square panel using the Rectangle Peek a Boo Window and then stamped the sentiment near the top.
  • I stamped the other sentiment just under the die cut window.
  • I stamped the pup with some black ink and then coloured him in.  I cut him into pieces.
  • To assemble the card, I glued the die cut window onto some white cardstock and then onto a 4 1/4" square card base.  
  • I pop dotted the larger panel over the die cut window and positioned the puppy inside using pop dots.


Here are the stencils I used:

This is a great pet sympathy card Karen, and I love the mix of blues for the cloudy sky and added rays, and the aperture with the cute dog with paws over the edge is a really pretty and clever design. x
