When a friend lost her beloved dog of many years last week, I knew that I wanted to use this adorable dog from the new Artistry Cricut cartridge to make her a sympathy card. This Freshly Made Sketch was perfect for what I had in mind.
I started by making a rainbow with my new CTMH watercolors and then added the puppy cutout embellished with an enamel heart. If you are not familiar with the Rainbow Bridge, here is a link to the comforting poem. I wanted to keep the emphasis on the image yet give the card some interest and dimension, so I pierced a border and attached the panel to a Colonial White card base with foam tape.
Thank you for stopping by! Until next time, Hansi

Such a pretty card for a sad event. The rainbow background looks great with the silhouette of the dog. Thanks for joining us at Freshly Made Sketches!
ReplyDeleteThis is brilliant, Hansi! Captures the sentiment perfectly, and the watercolour rainbow is beautiful. This is going in my CASE file...
