A friend lost a beloved dog this week, and I wanted to send a card to express my sympathy.
I started with inspiration from the Hero Arts Stay Crafty Challenge Color My World. My coloring was one of the brown Alcohol Ink backgrounds I made with my friend Bev in Alabama.
I cut the background into strips using this week's Freshly Made Sketch layout.
I added a gold metallic circle for the Cardz 4 Guyz Metallic Challenge. The Buddy Doggone Cute Shaker-Pop from Doodlebug Designs is my Animal for The Male Room Challenge.
I finished with the paw prints from the Shaker-Pop and a Hero Arts Sentiment from Thinking of You.
Beautifully done but I am sorry for the need for this card. It will be a happy memory for your friend. Thank you for playing along with us at Freshly Made Sketches.

Looks like your Color Throwdown card was linked to the Card4Guyz link up Stef instead of this one. Such a sad event but the recipient would surely be cheered by that cute mutt. :)

Hi Stef, the golden circle really grounds your chosen elements for this sympathy card. The alcohol ink strips look amazing with the gold.
Thank you for taking part in my metallic challenge this round with C4G. Cheers, Jolanda - DT
