I do make sympathy cards for people who have lost pets. Pets are members of the family, cherished and loved. So this card will be used for that unfortunate time when the family pet has passed away.  I'll pick a dog image (or other animal) and replicate the insert if needed.

Here is a list of materials I used-
  1. SVG: Dreaming Tree (Floral Gateway Fold card SVG).
  2. Cricut: Cricut Explore and Design Space for card, Pet Shop (cat).

It's magical!

Hello! This month at Die Cut Diva's our sponsor is-



Our theme for the month is an inspiration photo-


Here is my project:



I really liked how my watercolored background turned out. I used Friskit masking fluid and my fingertip to make the circles for the fireflies, and I used an old toothbrush and Frisket to make a Milky Way in the sky. After the Friskit was dry, I added the Brushos (Emerald for the ground, Black, Purple and Dark Blue for the sky). After everything was dry I rubbed off the Friskit, and colored the " fireflies" with Lemon and Orange Brusho's.


Here is a list of materials:
  1. Image: Holding Fireflies by A Day for Daisies, colored with Copics, with Wink of Stella on wings.
  2. Die: Spellbinders Star Circles.
  3. Sentiment: Unity Stamp Co. (...and for a moment), Versafine ink.
  4. Paper: white cs (Neenah), Midnight blue shimmer paper (Wausau), Strathmore watercolor paper (using Friskit and Brushos).
  5. Button: white star button from stash.
Thank you for visiting!
