Watercolor Dog Themed Pet Greetings 5 Cards

Warm greetings and welcome. Sometimes we want to send dog or pet-themed greetings for dog lovers, pet condolences, adoption or cute love occasion cards. Of course, these adorable pups can stand on their own. But I decided to make some of them Valentine or love themed. The cards are easily made for pet adoption or loss. I used watercolor to color in all of the dogs. Also, patterned paper from the same paper pack was used as accents. These are stamps from Unity Stamp Company. The supplies are noted below.

Helpful Tips:

1. Prepare five A2-sized side fold card bases from white cardstock, 4 1/4" x 5.5" folded.

2. Stamp the dogs, sentiments and accents using black waterproof ink onto the smooth side of white watercolor cardstock, for each of the card front panels.

3. Using the watercolor of choice, watercolor the stamped panels. I used watercolor colors from a pan set.

4. Heat set the watercoloring or allow them to dry completely.

5. Die-cut the watercolor panels and the sentiments.

6. From a paper pack with similar colors, trim layers, accents and borders for paper accents.

7. Optional: Die-cut extra sentiment icons and add them to the cards.

8. Finally, adhere all of the layers over the card base using double-sided adhesive or glue.

9. Use what you have on hand to get started. I list the supplies that I used in this project, but incorporate what you already have.
