Sadly, a friend of mine recently lost her beautiful pet Dachshund and I made this card for her. I always visualize our pets going to the rainbow bridge when their time on earth is done, so I sponged some clouds and added a rainbow and clouds done with Lawn Fawn dies and snippets of paper. I added a little shimmer to the clouds with some Wink of Stella. If you look closely, you can see the image of a dachshund that I stamped with iridescent ink at the end of the pawprints. I stamped a tiny red heart on the card next to the sentiment.
This is what I put inside the card. I've had this dachshund stamp for quite a few years. I bought it when we used to have a dachshund of our own, and I remember our Bitzi every time I see this stamp. The sentiment is from PTI.
Thanks for stopping by and I wish you all a good week ahead.
Carol
I'm sure you friend will really appreciate this lovely card
ReplyDeleteAlways so sad and equally painful time for pet owners, been there too many times. I am sure your friend will really appreciate your kind gesture. One of our Granddaughters and Husband have a Dachshund, they are feisty little characters for one so small.

I love that soft image of her dog. What a lovely card for her and will help ease the pain of losing her precious pet.
ReplyDeleteFabulous sympathy card for someone loosing their pet.
ReplyDeleteDachshunds are near and dear to my heart! I'm so sorry for your friend's loss, but I know they will really appreciate this card from you! Love your idea of the rainbow and pawprints with the faded doxie. The clouds are beautifully done in the background! That dachshund stamp on the inside is amazing!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card.I was devastated when my dogs died, and also when my Kitty died, they were family. They are sweet little dogs, my neighbour has 2 of them. Have a good week, hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteSuch a touching card Carol. Always hard to lose a pet. So nice of you to send this lovely card to her. 💕Sue K
ReplyDeleteThis is a gorgeous pet sympathy Carol! I did a rainbow bridge as well for my card. Not near as beautiful as yours though and in my haste to get it in the mail, I never got a photo of it. I love the pale image of the Dachshund and of course your sky looks amazing. It is indeed a very sad time, sad anytime we love a furbaby. It's not fair that our pets can't live a longer life. I know this friend will appreciate this card so much! You are such a blessing Carol, to us both. Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Carol, I love how you’ve personalised it with your lovely design. I’m sure it will be appreciated by your friend. xx
ReplyDeleteAwww, this card is so precious, Carol! I love the sponged clouds with the paw prints and doggy done in a soft faint color. The rainbow, the clouds and the inside is all wonderful additions to your heartfelt card. So sorry for your friend's loss. Your card will hopefully help to heal her heart in the days ahead.
ReplyDeleteHow sweet and thoughtful card you made for your friend's loss! Pets are family members and their life is sadly too short... Your card speaks by itself and it's really precious with the scene you have created! Love the idea of the delicate iridescent Dachshund under the rainbow with his paws tracks, perfect! The cloud is just perfect too to add dimension and the little red heart looks so sweet. The Dachshund stamp inside is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteSending big hugs and love, dearest Carol! Have a good week yourself!
Its so kind of you to make this for you friend.
