It's release day and the team, along with some EXTRA special guests, are celebrating today with a blog hop chock full of inspiration!! So, get cozy and settle in and hop along to all of the stops to see what everyone has come with!
My cute Rowan came home from school on Friday and told me that his teacher's dog had died; the family dog that they'd had for 17 years type of situation! I knew right away that I had the PERFECT set and the PERFECT sentiment to put together a little something for him to take to her! Thank you Reverse Confetti!!! I used the new "Furever Friends" stamp set to create today's project.
I had quite a few leftover squares from the centers of all of the different scalloped bags I made during the last few days so I put them to good use on today's card. I stamped the dog image three times and then colored them each a little differently using Copic markers. I also added some white gel pen "whisker pores" {LOL!} if that is even a thing! I added some crystal glaze to the bone and a dollop to each nose!
The little Dove treat bag is very simple, just using another dog image, the bone, and ball. I thought that the "always and furever" sentiment was perfect to express our thoughts to her. I love how the square die cut for the center leaves the stitching lines along the outside!
I also used the hat image from the "Snow Bunnies" stamp set to add to the brown dog for some added detail. The "P.S. I love you" tag is something I have had for YEARS that I got from my local quilt shop! I totally forgot I had them, so it was a happy surprise to find them. I'm using another one on an upcoming project as well, so stay tuned.
I hadn't planned on using this sweet set for today's hop, but I am so thrilled that these little pups got their chance to shine this week as they cheered up a grieving teacher! It's the small things in life that make such a difference. I ran into her in the hall the other day and she expressed her thanks to me. Thanks for fluttering by!
oh so SWEET Kelly! I bet they really appreciated your thoughtfulness.
