I ended up using a bunch of challenge sketches for some of these cards - so here we go:
My neighbor's had to put their boxer Dizzy down. I made a CAS card for them using a MFT stamp and Hero Arts sentiment. I tried coloring it to look like Dizzy too.
My other neighbor asked for me to make her a sympathy card for them too. I used the CPS#276 layout, Inkadinkado heart embossed in gold and a Skipping Stones sentiment:
That same neighbor needed yet another pet sympathy card for a co-worker. I used MojoMonday 252 layout and finally used some of my UTEE Powder I've had on my desk for about 8 months. I used it on the hearts.
Then, friend's had to put their 16 year old cat down.......jeesh- it was getting quite depressing in my craft room! I used a MFP cat stamp colored in with my prisma pencils, HA sentiment and The Pink Elephant Sketch#159
Lastly, one of the employees at CT Humane had to put her dog down - so here's yet another card. I rec'd this digi stamp from a blog friend and thought it was perfect. Colored with my prisma pencils and used Stickles on the wings and halo. Popped up a bunch of Sizzix clouds and embossed a HA sentiment. (PS: The Stickles weren't dry at the time of picture taking - so it looks a bit cloudy {no pun intended{)
Here are the sketches:
OK - so let's hope that's it for AWHILE!!!! I promise - a happy card tomorrow!!!!!!!!
Thanks for your visit!

Oh my goodness, that is a sad post, indeed! But you really created some beautiful cards that I know will be very appreciated by the pet parents. Hopefully it will bring some comfort..it is so tough to lose a member of the family. :( You really do have some wonderful animal stamps in your collection to work with, though. Wow! :)
So sorry to hear of your friends having this sad and difficult time. Your artistic thoughtfulness is sure to deliver caring comfort.
