Pleasant Poppies Sympathy Card

My work asked me to make a few sympathy cards. We had two clients who lost family members this week. Since I needed to make the cards quickly I decided to case one of my previous sympathy cards for a design idea. This Pleasant Poppies Sympathy Card features the same colors as my other card with the addition of Pool Party. I mixed it up a little and used the colors in a different way. To rearrange the elements, I used the 3-2-1 challenge at Shopping Our Stash. I used three Candy Dots, two embossing folders, and one butterfly. Looking at both cards, I definitely like this one better. Thanks for stopping by!!!

Butterflies & Poppies Sympathy Card

Hello! Since I find sympathy cards a challenge to create, I decided to make another one. This Butterflies & Poppies Sympathy Card was based off a card I found on Pinterest (click here for inspiration card link). I used the Framed Tulips embossing folder for the outside detail and layered the center with the stamped poppies image. The colors are Early Espresso, Crumb Cake, Island Indigo, Very Vanilla, and Crisp Cantaloupe. I inked the edges of the script paper by My Mind's Eye with Antique Linen distress ink from Tim Holtz. The final touch was the addition of the basic pearls on the butterflies. I'm definitely pleased with how this one turned out. Thanks for stopping by and have a fantastic day!
