Coco Cuddles

We had to say goodbye to our cat of 8 years, Coco. It came as a quick shock and both of my young kids have struggled with losing their beloved friend as this is their first introduction to death and grief. So I found some sweet images and put together a couple of cards for them to help ease their pain. This one I coloured up to represent my young daughter and Coco using this image from The Paper Shelter Just Another Kitten.

    I'm so sorry to hear about Coco, Alicia. It's always difficult losing our fur children. Your children must be heartbroken. They will treasure your cards. So beautifully colored, I enjoy the bokeh technique you have utilized with the copics! Wonderful card design, and just so sweet! Thank-you for joining us at the Crafts Galore Encore Challenge "Anything Goes". Please check back to see if you are a winner!
