Welcome to my blog, and thank you for visiting.
I have a simple card today which I made to have 'on hand', as there is nothing worse than struggling to make a sympathy card at short notice.
I started with a base of light green card, then a layer of a speckled cream card that had been run through the Argyle embossing folder and the edges sponged with Memento Bamboo Leaves ink.
The sentiment is from and Our Daily Bread Designs set of the same name. It was stamped with Pearlescent Thyme ink and clear embossed, cut with a Spellbinders Classic Oval and sponged with the bamboo leaves ink before the die was removed. This was set on a scalloped oval of mid green card, green pearls added, then mounted over a ribbon which ran the length of the embossed panel.
The butterfly, from the Layers of Color Flutterescent set was gold embossed on green card, cut out and adhered to the corner of the sentiment oval, with green pearls to accentuate the body.
Over all a very simple card to make, and I was very pleased with the result.

CAS at it's finest! Love the varying size of pearls! :)
The greens are lovely in this card...and I really like the balance of the card, and the hope offered by the butterfly. I do hope you don't need to use it for ages for anything though. Love Amy
