Wow, it has been awhile since I blogged. I have been making cards but haven't been able to post any. My computer was malfunctioning. It ended up in the shop for a week. They had to revert it to factory and rebuild from there. So then I had to spend another week reloading all my programs and finding the ones they had backed up. One error I made, I forgot to tell them to back up iTunes so when my husband went to sync his iPod, all the tunes erased. OOPS!! Now I have to spend some time reloading his tunes. 
Well anyway here is my card for Pals Paper Arts who provided this sketch:
PPA139and The Playdate Cafe for this color challenge:

Here is my card:

I think it is such a challenge to balance the solemnity of a sympathy card while making it something pretty to bring a little comfort.
Supplies:  Papers and butterfly (stamp & punch) from SU, Label die from Spellbinders, Sentiment from Hero Arts, It is hard to tell here but there are pearl accents on butterfly and daisy center.
