This is for two challenges the sketch challenge and the teapotter's challenge. This is for a gal who has lost two people close to her in the span of a week.
Stamped in stazon black then colored with bashful blue and marina mist using a blender pen. Pearls were added and edges were sponged with a dauber.
I thought this text was perfect for it. Inside it says, "I loved making this beautiful card for you. I hope it makes you smile for weeks." It made ME smile.

Gabby this card is wonderful! I love the bg embossing and how you coloured it. Love the sentiment and butterfly too! So sorry about the loss of your brother too. My brother was killed in an accident at the age of 18....that is 40 years ago, but the pain is still there, and so are the memories.
