My youngest daughter serves in the Navy, and we don't get to see her very often. She is on our minds and in our prayers every day though. And sometimes I like to send her a note from our dog Smoose just for fun. For this card, I printed a couple photos from the last time she was home (of course she gave Smoose lots of attention while she was here!) and added them to an A2 card I had debossed with Altenew's Dotted Lines coverplate die. I ink blended an ombre look using Altenew's Ruby Red ink and then added some red spray before adhering the photos and adding the chipboard letters. I also added a few sequins to the bottom left of the card.
For the inside, I die cut 3 shapes from Altenew's Circular Elements die set and spelled out the punny: "Fur real" sentiment using more of the sparkly black chipboard letters. I'm hoping a card from Smoose will lift her spirits as she has a very challenging job with long hours.
You can see a bit of the coverplate die pattern from the front of the card here:
