Good morning! I am so excited to be a stop on the hop celebrating the gorgeous April release from Waffleflower Stamps! Today I’m sharing a card using the Rainbow Bridge products from the release! Pet sympathy cards are never easy cards to make but this is a beautiful set and a comforting way to send love to a friend who’s missing their furry friend.
This was also a great project for using up lots of paper scraps that I’ve saved for years. As a result, unfortunately, I’m not able to share the exact cardstocks I used for the rainbow but it is a general mix of cardstock from Simon Says Stamp, MFT, Bazzill, and Hero Arts! To start I masked off the bottom and top of a panel of white cardstock and then blended tumbled glass, peacock feathers, mermaid lagoon, and blueprint sketch distress oxide ink into the middle. I splattered it with water and then spritzed it with shimmer spray several times. I peeled off the masking tape and let it dry.
Meanwhile I die-cut the Rainbow Bridge frame from welsh gold glitter cardstock. Then I die-cut the rest of the rainbow from a variety of colored cardstock scraps. Once my background panel was totally dry I stamped the sentiment from Rainbow Bridge on the bottom of the panel with versamark and heat-embossed it with gold embossing powder. Finally i used liquid adhesive to adhere the Rainbow Bridge frame and rainbow to the shimmery blended panel.
And that’s it! I hope you enjoyed my card and it gives you some inspiration for those hard-to-create situations. 🙂

Fabulous card. Love the gold sparkle, of course.
I love that gorgeous background and the sparkle!
So sweet!
Love this card
This is such a sweet set, and that’s the perfect sentiment to extend sympathy. I wouldn’t have thought to go glittery, but I really like how that turned out. Thanks for sharing!
I really love that the sympathy sets include the rainbow bridge and the way you added color but didn’t lose the reason for the card
This is amazing!
Lovely card and sentiment! This is such a sweet set to comfort someone on the loss of their furbaby. I like that this is available in both a dog and cat version.
Oh my! Too sweet!!!
What a gorgeous card on such sensitive subject. We would have loved a card like this a month ago when we lost out much loved 18 year old cat, Garth.x
This is a beautiful card. I’ve lost some best furry friends and I still get a little misty when I think about the rainbow bridge. Your card, with your colors and the glitter just makes it as heavenly as it is intended.
Love this sweet card, Jess! The sentiment is perfect & so is your beautifully blended background!
Lovely card Jess! This die set will be a must have on my wish list. Thanks for sharing!
This is a perfect set. So many of my friends have aging pets.
This is such a great card, I definitely need to add a set like this to my collection.
Beautiful sparkly card!
