I'm part of the Group of Seven design team but shamefully failed to get my card done in time for their newest post. I do have a good excuse - my sister and brother-in-law were visiting and we did a lot of work around my house and garden. I had to make the most of the help while I had it. My wonderful brother-in-law is the ultimate handyman and excellent gardener, and my sister is an amazing organizer and de-clutterer (though she refused to help me organize my craft room.
They've left now so I have crafty time again. Sadly my dear friends just had to let their very old beloved black lab go so I decided to use this month's Group of Seven technique of "generation stamping" to make a sympathy card for them.
The focal panel is the dog stamp inked up once and then stamped three times in a row going off the edge of the panel as if it was the dog gently fading out of life.
I'm also adding the card to Stamping Sensations "Our Furry Friends" and The Neglected Stuff Challenge (this Stampin' Up set is many years old and I rarely use it).
For more ideas on using the generation stamping technique, head over to Group of Seven and feel free to give it a try and post your results.
Supplies:
Stamps - Stampin' Up
Ink - Versafine Onyx Black, Distress Black Soot
Paper - white cs
Size - A2
Accessories - unknown paw print embossing folder

I'm glad you got some help in your house and garden, Susan. I'm sure you had some good visiting and fun along the way too. I love how the generation stamping makes it look like this pup is walking toward the bridge. So perfect for a pet sympathy and he looks like a lab too!
ReplyDeleteA great card for a sad event. It's so hard to lose a pet since they are part of the family. A perfect way to do the generation stamping. How wonderful you were able to spend time with your sister and BIL and still get things done.
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear of their loss! You've created the perfect card to comfort them! Thanks so much for joining in the fun at our Neglected Stuff challenge! Good Luck and we hope you’ll come back often.
