I really don't like making sympathy cards, but needs must and this is one for the family of one of Dave's close work colleagues, who sadly died 3 weeks ago - funeral is on Monday and Dave is a pall bearer.
I used a couple of Go Kreate Die sets to create the card, and simply embossed along the bottom of the card blank, and embossed one of the mats, before adding a Memory Box butterfly with pearls at its centre. Finally I stamped the sentiment.
Challenges:
Simon Says Stamp - emboss it
Fab n Funky - things with wings
Paper Pretties - no patterned papers
Charisma Cardz - things with wings
Cute Card Thursday - a different shape
Little Miss Muffet - anything but square
2 Sisters - things with wings

Beautiful and very stylish card Cathy, the embossing and sentiment are lovely and the gorgeous butterfly is a perfect touch
I think these cards are always the most difficult to make as you feel sad making them :-(

This must have been a difficult card to make but it has turned out beautifully. I love the embossed swirls at the bottom and the lovely butterfly.
