RIP Scooter

A lovely friend, Helena, has just lost her cat - Scooter by name and he was heading for 20 years old. Like all of us would be, she's pretty devastated and I made this to send:
I used:

- A6 white linen card stock

- SU's 'Simply Soft' stamp set - coloured onto the stamps with Whispers pens

- SU's sentiment stamp from the 'Sincere Salutations' set - again using a Whispers pen. I might be wrong but have a feeling this set is being retired, yet it's one I turn to time and again and am sure it will be missed :(

- teeny little punched butterflies, from a snippet, topped with peach coloured pearls

It's true what they say, our pets take a little piece of our hearts with them when they go to the Rainbow Bridge :(  RIP Scooter.

  8. Such a lovely card Di, I'm sure it'll help your friend to know you are thinking of her. It's very sad when you loose a companion that has been around for so long, friends come and go in that time but pets remain loyal and devoted.

    Have a great weekend. The light is better up North now so l assume from that, you have reduced your washing mountain lol

    Take care xx

  14. This is where I fall short, a friend of mine lost her dog a few weeks back and I never thought to send her a card. Well done you both for the card and the kind thought.

  16. Hi there Di - this is really sweet and I feel sure your friend will love it. We lost three of ours this year and are both still upset about it. I personally think you are very very kind and understanding to do this for her.
