I needed to make a sympathy card for one of my husband's customers. I really did start with the sketch and if you look really closely you will see it behind all the foo foo embellishments and sentiment. I used some of my hoarded smashed chickory flower paper. I added a paper doily. I also added embellished pleated ribbon for the TLC 434. I stamped the chickory flowers from ODB set called Don't Worry. I stamped the butterfly from Mark's Finest Papers set called CRACKED HELLO.

This is gorgeous MariLynn!! You have such a beautiful, delicate way of interpreting nature. You did a great job with the sketch today and the ribbon treatment from Monday.

How gorgeous, MariLynn! I love the butterfly of course, and the strung pearls and beads from the technique challenge. I don't blame you for hoarding that wonderful chicory smash paper....beautiful!!!

Wow MariLynn this is so gorgeous. Blue being my fav color, this really grabbed my attention. It is so soft and all the layers and embellies really work so well together. A wonderful card!!
