Welcome
I decided that I would make a sympathy card today to have in my stash.
I am unashamed to say that I was inspired by this card on Pinterest, pinned by Pat Carson.

I recently bought some gray card, so that formed my base, then I embossed the tree onto white cardstock and layered it onto the gray.

The butterflies were in my jar of pre-cut butterflies, and I had just enough in the sparkling silver to 'do' this card.

The sentiment from ODBD was stamped in London Fog ink, and all the edges of the card layers were sponged with the same ink.
I finished the inside with another ODBD stamped in London Fog ink.

beautifully done Maxine. That is a lovely tree.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely tree Maxine but my eyes keep playing tricks on me, and most times I look it appears to be debossed, and then suddenly it is embossed again! The butterflies just finish it off beautifully. Kate x

ReplyDeleteSo very lovely, Maxine! The silver grey & white colors are elegant together and the embossed tree with the butterflies adds such depth! A great card for your stash, one that anyone would love to receive.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card and just right for a sympathy card. Classy, elegant and pretty. It's actually a very peaceful looking card so it's a perfect sympathy one.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card, Maxine. Great way to use that embossing folder.

ReplyDeleteA beautiful design for a sympathy card, very subtle and dramatic. Love the colors (and also the way you used the tree die with the silvery perched butterflies). I'll have to CAS this one too! This is a perfect card to have in the stash for when you need it. TFS & Hugs
