Heartfelt Sympathy Card

Making a sympathy card can be a challenge. I struggle deciding what colors to use. This Heartfelt Sympathy Card was made for one of my former roommates from college who recently lost her sister. Since the recipient is a woman I wanted the colors to be feminine but not bright. I choose Pear Pizzazz, Primrose Petals, Baked Brown Sugar and Whisper White card stock and stamped the butterflies with Marina Mist as an accent color. I loosely based the design off this weeks sketch at Tuesday Morning Sketches and layered it up for the Charisma Cardz challenge. Most of my sympathy cards include a bird, flowers or butterflies in the design.  The flower and sentiment on this card is from the Simply Sketched hostess stamp set by Stampin' Up!. I stamped the image with StazOn black ink and used a blender pen to color the details.  The final touch was the addition of the pearls on the butterflies. Thanks for stopping by!

My Heartfelt Sympathy Card is entered into the following challenges:

• Tuesday Morning Sketches: Sketch
• Flutter By Wednesday: Anything Goes (must include butterfly or fairy)
• Charisma Cardz: Tons of Layers
