Hello everyone! This is my submission for CC215, as well as Julee's Mojo Monday Sketch 83.
The colors were Pink Pirouette, Rose Red, and Basic Grey. I used Bella Rose for my PP, Rose Red and my grey is from The Paper Co. The white is GP.
I used Archival Jet Black for my sentiments and Rose Red for my K & Co butterfly, which I stamped twice, fully attaching one, then attaching only the body and slightly bending up the wings on the second.
There are three sentiment stamps on this card. I'm not sure I've ever dont that before but this occasion called for it. The "With Sympathy" is Sweet 'n Sassy, "Praying for You" is Verve, and on the inside I stamped on Bella Rose a sentiment from Verses Rubber Stamps. It reads "Though our words can do little, we hope our thoughts and prayers will support you at this time."
I used a MS edge punch and a slot punch for my ribbon which is SU! Rose Red Grossgrain. I added silver Dew Drops in two sizes.
Thanks so much for looking! Have a wonderful day! I will be back tonight to comment and view all your creations!

My dear Grace, how beautiful this card is and I know it will touch the heart of those getting it. Sympathy cards are hard to make, to be able to express the heart...but Grace I believe you have done so well with this one. Your colours are perfect and that butterfly looks like it could fly off the page - Heaven bound!! Love the double border too - totally graceful - totally you!! Thanks for sharing!!
