For my cards, I pulled out some pawprint paper and then spotted this blue gingham piece that felt like it was just waiting to be used. The sketch is perfect for creating two cards at once, and since I am working to build up my pet donation cards, getting a pair out of one design is always a win.
Once I cut all the pieces for the fronts, I swapped the top and bottom panels between the two cards to give each one a slightly different look. I layered everything on black cardstock for contrast and then mounted the panels on white card bases for a clean finish.
Next, I die cut the sentiment panels, added a simple With Sympathy sentiment, and popped them up on dimensionals to give the design a gentle lift.
These will be added to my growing collection of pet donation cards.
Thank you for stopping by to see my card today. Your thoughtful comments are always appreciated. If you leave a note, a visit to your blog will follow.

Super card, Lisa. I’ve made a few cards with this layout, always good to get two cards made at the same time.

ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet idea, lots of people don't understand how painful it is to lose a beloved pet. xx

so elegant sympathy, with that lovely framing of the sentiment, and I love how the design gives you two cards!
