Happy Thursday, peeps! I have a friend who lost a dear pet recently. The sketch at Atlantic Hearts was another great way to use up some scraps:
And here we go:
I began by diecutting some strips of Meadow designer paper from Authentique and layering them behind a rectangle of Basic White. I stamped a little kitty and colored it in Smoky Slate, then fussy-cut it out and popped it up on the panel. The sentiment, from Pampered Pets, was stamped in Soft Succulent ink. I added a couple of acrylic dots and a back layer of Soft Sky to frame it:
I hope it gives her family some comfort! Thanks for stopping in today!
My cousin's daughter is an amazing young lady. During her high school years, she developed a tumor in her brain; she had surgery and recovered, but eventually it caused the nerves in her foot to atrophy and she decided to have it amputated. She has a prothesis, is a wonderful role model for others who have gone through the same trauma, and remains a happy, upbeat mom. All that to say, when she shared this on FB lately, I just had to share....it was her version of a snow angel, made during the recent snowfall we had here in PA:
Enjoy your day and be blessed!
