With Sympathy

I hate having to make sympathy cards, but needs must.  I really liked the effect of the butterfly card i did yesterday, so I thought it would work in darker tones for a sympathy card. I embossed the white cardstock and distressed the cricle using inks and mists.  The butterfly was cut in sliver and white cardstock, and the white cardstock glamour dusted..  I distressed the edges of my cardstock.

Supplies:
Image: Memory box butterfly dies
 Sentiment:Clearly Besotted stamps
Colouring medium: distress inks and glimmer mists
Papers: cardstock
 Embellishments:
 Tools: Tim Holtz weathered clock die
