Celebrating Our Furry Friends
We sure love our pets. They add such dimension to our lives and fill our homes with joy and affection. If you are like me, I can have a full-blown conversation with my cat. ( I see some of you nodding in agreement.)
The loss of a beloved pet is devastating and heartbreaking. Let's reach out and give someone a virtual hug using our gift of art. We are card makers and crafters, paper artists and mixed media aficionados. Let's cheer someone's hurting heart.
Creative Embellishments has some purrrrrrrrrrfect chipboard pieces to celebrate our cats and dogs.
I used the following pieces on my cards today:

This card is my version of the "Rainbow Bridge". It's a simple card with simple chipboard techniques. The cat from the Cat Set has been embossed with Stampendous - Frantage - Embossing Enamels - Aged Gold.
The Window was painted with light cream acrylic paint before embossing with Lindy's Stamp Gang - Embossing Powder - Angel Wings Gold.
When using light colored embossing powders, I achieve better embossing results when I paint the chipboard first. After the paper was dry, I added a quick rainbow painted with watercolors.
This is the second cat card featuring the Creative Embellishments - Paw Prints heart. I painted the heart with red acrylic paint then gently inked the edges of the heart after the paint dried.
It's super easy to personalize the chipboard with your own sentiment or even the Kitty's name. I would have added the Kitty's name but I wasn't sure of the spelling so I kept the sentiment simple.
The papers used in this card are from Authentique (Companion collection) and Photo Play "Roxie & Friends" collection.
