I made this sympathy card for a co-worker who lost his mother in law, well actually it is more for his wife than for him. After making the card I was thinking that I should have used a bigger butterfly and left off the flowers to strictly follow the sketch, but I didn't so this is my card. I used 3 Mark's Finest Papers sets on this card. Butterfly is from JUST DANDY set. Flowers are from GREET THE DAY WITH GERBER. The sentiment is from A WALK IN THE WOODS.
