Pet Loss

 I would rather say Furbaby loss, those of us who love our pets like our kids know how bad the hurt can be when they leave this world.  My sister in law lost her furbaby of 20 years, that is a long time to have them by your side all the time.  She lost him the day before we were heading to Michigan so the night before I made this card for her and gave it to her when we went to see her, she seemed very touched by it, so I am so glad that I made it.  He was a black cat. 


I sponged on the sky using a stencil, stamped the grass and went over it with ink and then cut the cat, clouds and sun out.  Found this paper for the background and stamped my sentiment.

  • Impression Obsession - Cat set die 
  • Taylored Expressions - Sun & clouds dies
  • Memory Box - Stitched Rectangle Layers dies
  • D.R.S. Design - Easy Background stamp
  • My Favorite things - Cloud stencil
  • Carta Bella - Metropolitan Girl paper
  • Hero Arts - Everyday sayings sentiment stamp

It is a cold, rainy Saturday here, it sure feels like fall.  They are talking about possible severe storms so hoping that doesn't happen.  Hope you are enjoying your weekend and thanks so much for taking the time to stop by and say Hi,

Connie

Such a sweet card. Your sister-in-law's cat certainly lived a long life...wow 20 years! Saying goodbye to our "fur babies" is always one of life's most difficult things. Your lovely card will touch her heart, Connie♡

I'm sorry your sister lost her cat. 20 years is a long time to have a pet and your SIL must feel a hole. It's a nice thing you did making this card. The black cat 🐈‍⬛ is a perfect touch.

Oh, that's so sad, Connie. Yes, 20 years is a long time to have a fur companion at your side and the loss is painful. Your card is a comfort, especially in that it tells her you empathize with her loss. It's very pretty and sweet.

Oh my goodness I am sorry to hear of your SIL losing her furbaby. They are family and it really hurts when they are gone. I have lost a few and just never get over losing them. Your card is perfect with that die cut silhouette cat and great scene. I am sure your SIL was so toughed to get this card.
