Thanks For Your Kindness

Hi everyone! Happy Tuesday! Here is my card for today's Color Challenge on SCS, CC229, Certainly Pixie Appeal.

I made this card to send to the wonderful veterinarian that helped Chris and I this weekend when we made the painful decision to let our black lab, Sampson, go...

They were so comforting and amazing, and I really wanted them to know how much we appreciate their kindness during this difficult time.

For my card, I stamped this sweet little puppy from Beary Special by Taylored Expressions in Memento Tuxedo Black onto Choice Snow White Cardstock and colored him with Copic Markers. The sentiment, "thanks for your kindness", also from Beary Special, was stamped onto my Apricot Appeal panel.

I ran all the colored panels through the Cuttlebug with the Harlequin Texturz Background from SU!/Sizzix and then sponged each panel with its corresponding color ink to bring out the texture. I added black brads by American Crafts and Whisper White Organza Ribbon.

There is piercing around my focal panel, and I brought in the Pixie Pink by stamping the heart from Beary Special onto Pixie Pink Cardstock and cut it out. I added a coat of Bubble Gum Shimmerz to the heart as well.

I just noticed that Beary Special is currently out of stock...you can click on "Request Re-Stock Notice" and you will receive an email when it is back in the store! Thanks!!

Thanks so much for stopping by!!
