LARGE Animal Family

A fellow shelter volunteer asked me to make her six identical cards. Easy huh? Well, she wanted to give them to her friend who has 10 cats and 3 dogs!! Of course, she wanted me to feature all 13 animals on the card! Wow, this was a challenge! I decided to use a dog from the retired SU "Bow Wow" set and a cat from the retired SU "Meow Meow" set.  I stamped and masked, stamped and masked, until I got 10 cats and 3 dogs. So that I would not have to re-stamp it 5 more times, I copied it on the copier. I decided to hand color each image with Copic markers for a better color quality. Because there is so much to look at with the image, I decided to keep the rest of the card simple, but just adding paw-print ribbon.  I hope the receiver of these cards gets a "kick" out of them.  They sure look like a happy family!!
