I followed this sketch at Tuesday Morning Sketches:
I was also inspired by Mrs. A's Butterfly Challenge, which is Butterflies plus I for Inks. I inked all around the edges of the kraft cardstock with Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink. I'm also joining the Snippet Playground and Hiding in My Craft Room (HIMCR) Super Scraps Saturday as I used snippets/scraps for the die-cuts and the patterned paper.
Other products used:
- Dies: Butterfly (Gina Marie Designs Small Butterfly), Leaves (Memory Box Flutter Vine)

Gorgeous card Kitty, every thing just flows together and is so peaceful. I think you should make several of this card for your mom's stash, I find it calming and peaceful.
ReplyDeleteA lovely card. Thanks for joining AYLI challenge. Elaine
ReplyDeleteHi my friend!! How are you? Very lovely sympathy card!! It looks paceful and light, and the fabulous intricate butterfly matches very well with the patterned paper and the pretty leaves!! Your distressing on the edges makes the card's look so soft! I think this is perfect for your mother's stash, because isn't too cheerful and don't feel too blue. An ancient latin quote said " virtue stays in between" :D Well done!!
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful! I love that delicate butterfly!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for playing along this week at Tuesday Morning Sketches!!
