The F4A challenge today was about your Happy Place. My happy place is spending time with my fur babies. They have a way of making me smile even on the darkest days. I have a friend who feels the same about her happy place, everything revolves around her dogs. She is in a sad place right now as she just lost one of her basset hounds so I made this card for her.
I made my shiny heart embellishments using another stamp from this same ODBD set. I embossed it with clear embossing powder to give it shine and make it thicker.
Thanks, for taking a look at my card.

This is a lovely card for that special someone. I must agree having fur babies is a very "happy place" to be. I think it is about time for me to start looking around to adopt something furry in the not too distant future as there is nothing nicer than paw prints on your heart.

How thoughtful of you to pick just the right image and sentiment - love those hearts with the paw prints, and embossing them to make them stand out was a great idea! Even the BG paper has those paw prints! This card is such a wonderful way to let your friend know you feel her loss as deeply as she does.

This is a most adorable card!! I love the red stripes that match the red flowers. I am so sorry to hear that your friend lost her dog. I believe that is among the most painful things. I'm sure your lovely card will touch her heart. And, I agree with you that being with our beloved dogs is a very happy thing. :>)
