I needed to make a card for a very sad occasion. One of my BEST friends and across the street neighbor had to put their dog of 18 years to sleep. Truly a sad part of that circle of life.
I wanted to make her a special card.
This sentiment is just so perfect and so true.
So I literally used the two sections of this die cut heart to represent the family's broken heart and put a paw print on it in brown ink with clear embossing powder
I made a shaker out of the open heart to represent the sparkle Maggie added to their lives.
I put a photo of my friend Katy cuddling Maggie on the inside
And a photo of her daughter Ashleigh and Maggie on the back.
I LOVE this Sympathy Loss of Pet stamp set from PTI. It says exactly what I wanted to express to Katy and her family.
I am posting my card at The City Crafter Challenge Blog where we are supposed to use the color pink.
