Hello again friends. I hope you've had a great start to the week and the sun is still shining wherever you are. Today I'm sharing a card I made for my SIL and her family who sadly recently had to say goodbye to their fur baby Charlie. She had such a wonderful life with them and they are understandably heartbroken. I hope my card will give them some little comfort.
Here is my card:
A closer look at the details:
Plus I decorated the inside:
I truly believe in the Rainbow Bridge and wanted to emulate that in my card. I made an A2 landscape card for a change as that suited my layout better. I cut strips of coloured card 3/4" wide in rainbow colour and adhered them directly onto the middle of my card base. I cut a white panel 5" x 3 3/4" and die cut a rainbow from it. I also die cut some clouds from white card (x 5) and dogs from black card (x 5). I adhered two clouds together with liquid glue for each side of the rainbow and 4 black dogs for the front of the card, again adhering them with liquid glue. I stamped the sentiment below the rainbow and the paws across the panel and the rainbow stripes. I added foam tape behind the panel and adhered it over the rainbow stripes. The clouds and dog were added with a mix of foam tape and liquid glue. I didn't feel the front needed anything else. For the inside I cut a white panel 5" x 3 3/4" and added some very thin strips of the coloured card to the very bottom with liquid glue. Over the stripes I added a white cloud and black dog, again with liquid glue. I stamped the simple sentiment in the centre of the panel with black ink. The panel was added to the card base with double sided tape. A fairly simple card but I am really happy with it.

Such a lovely thoughtful caring colourful card. It is always so hard when a loved pet passes. Thank you for adding to our JUGS Gallery this week.
This card is heartbreakingly beautiful and deeply comforting. The rainbow backdrop brings a gentle sense of hope and remembrance, while the silhouette of the dog perched on a cloud adds such a touching emotional connection. 🌈🐾💔Thank you for playing with us at the Colorful Options Challenge. 💗🌈🙏 Hope you have a great weekend!🌟🖌️🎨 Cheers, Makira
