Wishing in Pink and Gray

Hi all!  Hope your day is going well.  We've been dealing with our senior dog for the last little while as now she has torn up her only other good knee and is hobbling along at age 14.  She is still in good spirits and eating and that makes us very happy.  We are doing our best to keep her comfortable and pain free!  Our pets are so important to our lives - the become such an integral part of our family, it's very hard to see them age and/or suffer!

I made this card today with stamps from Altenew's "Bold Blossom" set and Inspired by Stamping's "Wishing You" set, Gina K Designs Moonlit Fog card stock and ink, Silver pigment and black dye and pink shadow inks from Hero Arts, MFT Scallop Basic Edges 2 dies, pink card stock from Reverse Confetti, Sakura Gelly Roll glitter pen, foam tape, water droplets and Wink of Stella.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
