I made this card last weekend to send to our local veterinarian and his staff. And so you, my dear FWF audience, get yet another post referring to the death of my dog, Molly. I wanted to send a thank you to the vet's office along with the bill for the services that day. They truly went over and above what they would have had to do. I drove 3 hours across the state so Molly could see her own vet. They worked us in as soon as we made it to town, even interrupting a surgery to accommodate us. So, a heartfelt thank you card seemed the least I could do to show my gratitude.
Of course, I had to use a Golden Retriever on the card, making it look as much like my Molly as I could by coloring it with Copic markers. This is actually very close to her coloring.
These papers were in a grab bag, so I don't know what they are. If anyone recognizes them, please let me know. The ribbon is from the Seasons blundle from 3 Girl JAM. The bling is from Close To My Heart. I used a Lifestyle Crafts Circle die in two different sizes for the circles on the card. The stamp, of course, is Unity. It's a Unity/Phyllis Harris co-branded stamp Brandy and Emma: Forever Friends.
I used this sketch from Sunday Sketch and Stamp:
I had planned to link up, but missed the deadline because of the ER visit. So, I saved it for FWF. Have a great weekend, everyone!
Beautiful card which is a great take on the sketch. Wishing you strength during this difficult time.

ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful card, Julie - not just for its artistic beauty, but for the gratitude behind it and your love for Molly. I'm so sorry to hear about your dad - I know recovery will take awhile, but I am hopeful it will be sooner than later (surely, it being summer will be beneficial). He is very lucky to have such a fabulous daughter! Don't forget to take care of yourself, too, my friend, okay?
