Encouraging a Friend

Hello CottageCutz Friends

The card I am sharing with you today is one of encouragement.  A friend recently had heart surgery and has a long recovery ahead of her.  She loves animals especially dogs so I incorporated a dog.  Also the ribbon for heart awareness is red.  So I included a red ribbon. The dies I am using today are Stitch Heart Set, Loyal Pets and Hugs w/Shadow.

Designer Steps:

1.  Use an A2 white card base, cut a piece of light blue card stock 4 1/8 x 5 3/8 and a piece of white 4 x 5 1/4.  Using the second from the largest Stitched Heart cut out a heart in the upper right corner as shown. After the heart is cut run it through a dotted embossing folder

2.  On the blue card stock create some clouds using a stencil and some blue ink

3.  Glue the white heart piece to the blue stenciled cloud piece.  Add a red ribbon and then glue to the white card base

4.  Using the Loyal Pets die cut out the dog and cat in black and the collar and bow in red.  Glue the pieces

5.  Add some dimension tape to the back of the dog and cat.  Pop them onto the front of the card as shown below

6.  Using the Hugs w/Shadow die and cut out the shadow in red and the word in black.  Glue together and add to card as shown.  Your card is complete

Thanks so much for stopping by! 

Blessings and Take Care
