Sentimental Sundays–Shaped Cards

Pin It

Are you ready for the new Sentimental Sundays challenge? This week we are challenging you to create a shaped card, no squares or rectangles allowed, with a sentiment. We have two generous sponsors of our challenge this week, Meljen’s Designs and Raindrop Echo Designs.

This past week I had the sad occasion to need to make a card for a friend that lost one of her sweet pups. I immediately thought of this image from Meljen’s Designs, Dog Angel.

Stop by the Sentimental Sundays blog to see the rest of the inspiration pieces by the DT. While you are there you can download a free sentiment set from Ann Vento of Raindrop Echo Designs and link up your “Shaped Card” (with a sentiment).

If you love Meljen’s Designs images, don’t forget to check out my blog candy!

Thank you for stopping by!

Supplies:

  • Stamps: Dog Angel by Meljen’s Designs (available on Whimsy Stamps)
  • Inks: Distress Inks Old Paper
  • Papers: Papertrey kraft CS, Neenah Crest solar white CS, Crate Paper Portrait Collection
  • Tools: Big Shot, Spellbinders Nestabilities, Copic markers, foam dimensional adhesive, Provo Craft Seeing Spots embossing folder
