"Just a Dog" Birthday Card

Hello my crafty friends and welcome to Masculine Card Monday here on my blog. I'm back with another dog card, created with a dog panel from The Little Book Of Muddy Paws by Hunky Dory. This seemed to be very popular, and was sold out at several Canadian online retailers when I first saw it. There are lots (and lots and lots) of pages in this book, so you will be seeing lots (and lots and lots) of dog cards using it! 

You can see how well the panel fits on a 5 x 7" card, and I love the sweet images as well as the watercolored look to them. I used a true fun sentiment stamp from Crackerbox Palace I've had for several years. It's actually a single stamp that says "Someone says "It's just a Dog." and you think "You're Just An Idiot". But I had cut it into two pieces so I can use it as I did here, with one part on the front and one on the inside of a card.

Our new rescue dog has extreme separation anxiety that we are working on with our vet. It will take time to help her and we think she is worth that time. While (extended) family members had no problem voicing their opinion "she's just a dog" to us, I doubt they would have appreciated the answering sentiment that was rolling around in my head. 

I made this card for a dog-loving friend, who WILL appreciate the humour, and meanwhile I will keep biting my tongue when these people continue offer their opinion about our furry kids. Especially when they say we should just 'give her back'. 

That being said - any comeback you can think of that wouldn't offend anyone - would be appreciated. 😊
