A fellow pet therapy volunteer lost his sweet Golden Retriever last week, and I wanted to make him a sympathy card in honor of his sweet girl.<\/p>\n

<\/a>I used an old doggy bone patterned paper scrap from the Daisy Hill 8.5″ x8.5″ “Top Dog” paper collection along with some other scraps from my scrap box. I Copic colored the Golden Retriever image with Y11, Y26, and YR24 and fussy cut it out three times. I stacked each pup on 3M double sided foam adhesive to create some depth, and inked the edges of the fussy cut image with a B point Faber-Castell PITT Artist Pen to cover the white edges of the paper.<\/p>\n

<\/a>To make the Golden into an angel pup, I used a small bird gold metal charm, cutting off the tail, the branch and the hanging loop and glued it into place between two of the doggy image layers with E6000. Lastly, I die cut a polka dot vellum heart with the fourth smallest of the Diemond Dies Nesting Heart Die Set<\/a><\/span>, inking the edges with Delicata Golden Glitz pigment ink<\/a><\/span> to help the heart stand out from the background patterned paper.<\/p>\n

For the inside, I used a sentiment that reads, “Dogs leave pawprints on our hearts” from the Sparkle N Sprinkle “Scratchy” stamp set along with a paw print stamp that my friend Jill (YT: luvmy2pugs1) gifted to me a couple of years ago.<\/p>\n

The following is a video share of this card:<\/p>\n
