This is for the sketch challenge today. I adjusted it just a bit to accomodate my sentiment. I have made this for my friend Lesley who has lost a good friend. I had met her friend many years ago and when she introduced herself she always said "Browne" with an "e", so whenever Les and I spoke of her we always said her full name and added "Browne with an e". So inside the card I put Remembering "E" with a fancy beautiful E. I stamped the background BG paper with the HC Words Stamp in the Concord and inked the edges of the paper with the same ink. I embossed the CM paper with ef and sponged with the Seedless Preserves over the raised area. On the other panel I sponged the Textured Honeycombe stencil with Victoria Velvet and Dusty Concord. For the sentiment I stamped the Memory sentiment in Seedless Preserves and inked around the edges. I sponged Viva Copper on the large butterfly and on the corners of both the sentiment and honeycombe. Added a couple of Butterfly Delights and the Flutter Vine inked in the velvet and the concord. Remembering "E"
Thanks for looking ...

A beautiful sympathy card with the butterfly(sometimes a symbol of immortality). The shades of lavender and pink were lovely choices. Your friend is really going to be touched by your special personalization, Kia. That's what a handmade card can bring that a store-bought one can't.

This is so beautiful in so many ways..I love what you're writing on the inside and the colors and textures on this make it so pretty. The extra vines on top of your butterfly are such a lovely touch.

So many of my faves in here Kia: script, damask texture, and honeycomb stencil, tho I haven't used that as much as the other two. With delicate butterflies in the mix, you have a real winning combo
