Today is Day 2 of the release from Newton’s Nook Designs. Our reveal today is a set that anyone owned by a pet will appreciate.
The set is called Furr-Ever Friends and it is one that made me happy and nostalgic all at the same time. The sentiments in this set are really simply perfect to reflect how so many of us feel about our dear furry family members.
After debating how to show this set, I opted for simple. Because when someone loses one of their dear friends, I feel like simply is best. I created a watercolor wash with my Winsor and Newton paints and then added the black silhouette of the kitty. This reminds me of my old friend Pito who was a part of my life for 19-1/2 years (I’ll confess his silhouette was a little “stouter”, lol). He was a solid black kitty and one of the most special friends…I was his human and he will always be a part of me. So I chose this sentiment which says exactly how I still feel about him. While I think these are hard cards to make, having a stamp that says exactly what you need it to is invaluable. And, you can get the set for free!

I like the simple design. Our black cat has been with us for many years now.
This is so pretty. I love when I see such simple, and beautiful cards. I WISH I could come up with stuff like this. I have always had the tendency to over think, and over complicate things, that extends to my crafting. This is beautiful .

I just love this card. It is such an elegant and beautiful sympathy card.
great job on the watercolor background and perfect for a sympathy card!
I think you are right, simple is best when expressing sympathy, and you did so beautifully! I will have to try those Windsor & Newton paints. I am sorry for your loss of Pito, I know my pup IS my baby, the light of my life, the sun of my solar system… <3
