Pet Sympathy and Challenges

Hi everyone! Most of my friends, and myself included, treat our pets like family.  So when one is lost it is a very painful time.  I found this image from the amazing Mo Manning and the angel holding the kitten is just so moving.  She also has one of an angel with a puppy that I also purchased and will make into a card for my stash. I felt these images made perfect Pet Sympathy cards. My tip for Top Tip Tuesday would be, and I said this before but not as an actual "tip" you can make your own rhinestone flourishes using a stencil, rhinestones and  stratigically placed dabs of glue.  I also made the glimmer mist used on these flowers (they were white) using hair spray, pearl ex and Tim Holtz ink.  I don't have an exact recipe it was kind of like Dr. Frankenstein some of this, some of that, wa-la.  Unfortunately, my tip is usually what "not" to do (boy do I have a whole bunch of those)LOL.

I have entered this card in the following challenges:
  1. Mo's Challenge Blog- Use Vellum or acetate (vellum on the tag)
  2. One Stitch at a time- Favorite Colors
  3. Secret Crafter-Sparkle and Shine
  4. Wee Memories- Patterned Paper
  5. Alphabet Challenge- C is for Cat
  6. Fairy Tale Challenge- Everything Goes
  7. Stamp Something- Use a Digi
  8. Wags'n Whiskers-Use Vellum
  9. AI Factory- Use a die cut or punch
  10. Charisma Cardz- Sympathy Card
  11. Cute Card Thursday-Anything Goes
  12. Pals Paper Arts-Inspirational Photo
  13. Sassy Studio Designs-Anything Goes
  14. CCEE Stampers-Store bought Flowers
  15. Fresh Brewed Designs-Use two patterned papers ( I did but covered most with embelies LOL)
  16. Digital Tuesday-Never used Stash( Vellum I have it in books! How old is that) and a Digi
  17. The Crazy Challenge-Things with wings
  18. Karber Weekly- An animal and a digi
  19. Stamp with Fun-Square
  20. Top Tip Tuesday- Use a Digi
