Bone Shaped Slimline Card

Hello my crafty friends.  So we did a thing. I didn't share this on my blog, but in early April we had to say goodbye to our Cooper dog. He had started to fail and after a bad weekend we took him to urgent care where they discovered an enlarged spleen, a mass on his liver and a few other things that had crept up. My sweet boy went to doggie heaven that day, and we went home with broken hearts.

Our 2nd dog (Jasper) was SO lonely and sad - he had never been an only dog before. And WE hadn't been a single dog household in many years. Once I felt I was ready, I started looking at different rescue groups and humane societies. Just to see. Lots and lots of large breed dogs, but with my RA a large dog is not physically manageable.

When we brought Cooper home 13 years ago - he was from Pawsitive Match Rescue Foundation so of course I was checking their website too. Mid May I noticed a dog there that sounded like she would fit right in with our family. We thought about it for a week, then finally filled out the application. It is quite the process, as they want potential adopters to be SURE - but we did all the steps and brought home our girl last weekend. We immediately changed her name to Willow and have been working to get this timid, sweet dog settled into our family. 

Willow's foster family did an amazing job with her, so I wanted to send them a Thank You. They had her for about three months, and I know they will be missing her - that feels like such a long time to foster a dog then send it off to it's forever home. So this is the card I came up with ... a bone shaped Slimline card using patterned paper from my stash. I fussy cut the dogs, then die cut the Thanks which is from Karen Burniston. Finally, some mirrored hearts for shimmer and shine. Oh, and the dogs noses and eyes got some glaze pen as well.

Since it was easier to write my personal message on the inside BEFORE adhering the front and back together, I didn't take a photo of the inside. I just added a few more of the fussy cut dog images from the patterned paper.
