Unfortunately needed a sympathy card. I always usually start with flowers. This little flower and butterfly is one of my newest stamps and one of my favs..simple and delicate and fun and easy to color.
I sponged the edges added the oval and string of pearls along with a couple bought flowers to match.
Already had the border punch in dk blue cut previously and thought the 2 colors went so well so added the bow and corners to match. Was going to leave the bg plain white but decided to emboss it to soften it up. Just typed the sentiment off computer and did a simple strip, raised in the middle a bit to fit the flowers and added the 2 pearls to it to match the flower centers. Love how it turned out, and so fun when things just go.

A sad occasion...but an exquisite card to extend your sympathies, Wendy. The shades of blue on white seem so appropriate and your myriad of fine details are all so elegant.

Every detail of this beautiful card is perfection! I am in love with the quilted look of your embossed background, the colors you chose are a beautiful contrast to the white and that string of pearls around your oval? Wowza!
