Sympathy card for my friend Alice, in memory of her kitty, Midnight. I did not have any stamps suitable to this, and I love the sentiment I found on Google.
"Until someone has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened". Sadly, the font was so small that I could not read the author's name, but I think the words are touching.
The sentiment is framed using ODBD's Spellbinders, and leaves from Kitty Kits from Rubbernecker. The paw prints in the leaves were from Hero Arts.
Thanks for looking.
Edit: thanks to Karen for finding this quote online so I can give credit to the author- it is by Anatole France.

Very thoughtful and beautiful Pat. The sentiment is perfect and those little paw prints are so touching. This made me smile and think how she will appreciate this so much!
Pat this is what makes you so special. You have love and compassion for others. It's so sad to lose a pet. They do become so much a part of you. I'm sure your friend was so touched to receive this beautiful card.
