Butterfly Sympathy Card

Hi all,

Sympathy cards are some of the hardest cards to make for me.  Cardmaking is a fun activity for me and I guess it feels kind of odd to think of sympathy cards as something fun, given the somber occasion these are usually used for.  Nonetheless, I must admit, that I enjoyed making this card, purely for its simplicity and beauty.

Don’t you just love those beautiful butterflies?  They are part of that patterned paper which comes from the 6×6 Gabrielle paper pad by Bo Bunny.

For the sentiment I used Gina K. Design’s Stippled Nature set. I stamped it onto a coordinating piece of patterned paper.  I then used Spellbinder’s Grommet Tags dies to cut it into the shape and added the copper brads.  In just a few steps I was able to create an elegant sympathy card.

I hope you enjoyed today’s project. Thanks for stopping by!
