Hi everyone! Sympathy cards are the kind of cards you hope you never need to use. Unfortunately saying goodbye is part of life, also to your beloved pet friend. With sympathy cards I like to keep things clean and simple, and with the Best Friend Faces die-namics it is easy to do so.
Before I’m diving into the cardmaking process, I want to mention we have a challenge running over at Cloud9 Crafts. The theme of this month is “Big Sentiments”. Head over to Instagram to see how you can participate and be eligible to win a prize!
As you can see I created 2 color variations to the card. You can customize the colors to the pet who passed away, giving it a personal touch. For the brown dog I used the colors: Vanilla Malt, Ground Coffee, and Paper Bag. For the grey dog I used the colors: Fog, Narwhal, and Storm Cloud.
To add more interest and dimension to the dog faces, I die cut the ears and spot multiple times and stacked it on top of each other. Adding highlights with a white gel pen to elements can also really bring it to life.
On the bottom of the card I stamped a sentiment from Critter Condolences with VersaMark ink, and heat set the white embossing powder. Next to the sentiment, I stamped paws with VersaFine Onyx Black ink, and heat set the clear embossing powder. Other than that, I did not want to add anything else to the card, keeping it clean and simple.
I hope you like this card, and it gave you inspiration. Thank you for stopping by and see you next time!
