Hello Everyone! Did you all have nice weekends? Mine was quiet, did a lot of resting and reading. I am feeling much better and now it’s catch up time! All the things that went undone while I was sick are now screaming for my attention. But I did want to pop in and share a card with you today. I don’t know about you, but sympathy cards are difficult for me. What colors? What images? What is too much? What is too simple? But, I needed one this weekend and this is what I came up with. I used the With Sympathy stamp set from Papertrey Ink. It’s a great set with a lot of nice, comforting sentiments.
Not too bad, huh? I made a few of them since I had everything arranged already on my stamp press. I created the butterfly by rubbing an ink pad onto vellum, letting it dry and then punching it with the butterfly punch. I like the light airy look of vellum and I thought it was perfect for this butterfly. I glued two of them together to add some dimension. This is how I finished off the inside.
It's a card for a male church member who lost his mother. I just didn't know what to do with it. So I kept it simple and used a neutral color palette.
Well, that's all I have for now. Thank you for dropping in today. I appreciate the visit...
Blessings~
