I love this sketch because it is such an easy way to create two cards with completely different looks just by switching out the designer papers. For this layout, I chose a pink polka dot pattern and a paw print design, layering both on black cardstock to give them a crisp frame before placing them on a white card base. The contrast between the playful pink and the bold paw prints makes the background feel lively and fun.
Next, I pulled out this sweet Hunkydory dog image, cut it with a white circle die, and layered it on black cardstock to help it stand out against the patterned papers. The circle shape adds a soft focal point that balances the straight lines of the sketch.
To finish the card, I added a Welcome sentiment and popped it up on dimensionals for a little lift and emphasis. This will be another of my pet donation cards, and the cheerful layout feels perfect for welcoming a new furry friend into a loving home.
