I needed to make a Sympathy card...and I have wanted to use this die cut for a while.
This is a test...How many winged things can you find in the picture? O.K. just kidding... This feels a bit "busy" to me and kind of like one of those tests!
I made a frame with my gray cardstock using my Spellbinder matting dies. I cut down the flower die from Anna Griffin (a borrowed die, no name) so it would fit on this card. (It is a 5x7 die) A friend of mine loaned me her insect dies from Cheery Lynn Designs (I think) a while ago and I cut some in several colors so I added the Hummingbird, Dragonfly and cut a small Memory Box Butterfly to add to the mix. My Banner is from SU and is stamped with a SU sympathy sentiment from the Tiny Wishes set. I added three pearls to the bottom and called it good!
Thank you for stopping by! It is always appreciated!
Edit: Every time I pull this up I see that the picture is catty wampus...I am sure you will think I was drinking when I took this photograph...honestly it looks like the Leaning Tower of Pisa!

Peggy, you sure have some nice friends that have nice supplies and shares with you!. this die cut is beautiful and really not too busy. It made a beautiful sympathy card! The flying friends are so gentle on the card! tfs
Hello JasonW1
I absolutely love this card, as I do all of your artwork. Can you tell me how I
can accomplish this framed look. I have the SB 5x7 matting basics dies, but I cannot seem to get this framed look with them. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much! Lynne
