Now, the back story is that they lost their family dog of 10 years the day after Christmas, so my friend's heart is still pretty tender. She is not ready for a new dog but has exhausted every outlet to find it a home (or its original owners). Her three kids have named it. Her husband has said they can keep it. So though she hasn't said the words, they have a new puppy. :)
Hence, this card...
I used this freebie from All Dressed Up and colored her with Copics. I've tried to do the whole "fur" thing and I'm not sure that I have succeeded. I used Classic Calico 6x6 paper pad by Studio Calico.
I left the inside blank and will write my own note. I am going to add a gift card to a pet store as well. :)
Welcome to the neighborhood, Cutie Pie!! (That's what they named her, the kids.)
Thanks for looking! I hope this finds you happy and healthy.
