Hi everyone! The rain skipped us today, sans a light few showers, but should start again around midnight and continue to the weekend...oh boy!
I'm back today with a sympathy card.
This is always a difficult card to make, so I try to have some on hand.
I used Ranger gold embossing powder and a background stamp (unmounted rubber - not sure what company) for the background. This is a Cheery Lynn butterfly that Margaret gave me, using Wausau gold specialty paper. I love this die because it shows so much detail. I added 2 rhinestones to the center of the body. The sentiment, stamped with Encore Metallic Gold, is from Cornish Heritage Farms and I used an SU! punch and more specialty gold paper.
I used Canson iridescent white for the backing of the butterfly. You see what I am talking about in the next detail photo.
I am entering the following challenges:
The Perfect Sentiments - Sympathy/thinking of you
Inky CHicks - use a background stamp
Flutterby Wednesdays - flowers and butterfly/fairy
Thanks for stopping by!

ReplyDeleteHi Kathy, I find it really difficult to create such a card. But yours is fantastic. You´ve used wonderful colors, the design shows sypmathie and empathy and the butterfly gives a little bit of hope. I´m very impressed, Renata x
ReplyDeleteWonderful card! Thank you for playing along with my Flutter By Wednesday Challenge!
