Sympathy

Sadly I have recently sent several sympathy cards so I need to replenish my stash.

Subtle and quiet colors are what I usually use for sympathy cards.

I used paper from 49 and Market, the Moonlight Garden collection. I cut a section of one of the 12x12 papers and added a die cut rectangle from a coordinating page. I masked off the lower edge and stamped some flowers and glued the frame around them. The SU sentiment is stamped on a scrap the frame paper and then fussy cut around. I punched a butterfly from the same paper as the frame. 

I found several challenges for this card.

Just Us Girls:  challenge 756, Die Cuts

Paper Fun Day Challenge:  Anything goes with a twist of monochrome

Time Our Challenges: Challenge #279 with twist of new beginings. I know a sympathy card seems strange for new beginnings but flowers and butterflies symbol the beginning of a new spring season. 

Freshly Made Sketches I used a landscape orientation and used the frame of flowers as the focal point.
