I learned a dear friend lost her daughter. Her son saw a yellow butterfly and thought it was her daughter. Her daughter also loved Callalily's and I just had to make this card for her.
I die cut the butterfly base then created the easel card and die cut it again for the top layer.
Next, I stamped the butterfly on yellow and die cut that then added the lacy die cut butterfly on top.
The flowers were in my drawer already made up waiting for cards. (I like making a few in advance to make my card making quick when I need a fast card for such an occasion).
The remembering sentiment my son wrote. He taught himself calligraphy and is really good and very handy when I need a sentiment that I don't own.
I would love it if you would check out my Blog: Shoe Girls Cards.
Thank you for looking!

This card is absolutely stunning, Lisa, and I'm so sorry for your friend's loss. I'm very impressed with your son's calligraphy too -- and how handy is that.

How precious this card will be to your grieving friend .... and how wonderful that your son can use his calligraphy skills for your cards!
