Butterfly Sympathy Card

-

Sometimes, simple is better and I felt that this was one of those times.  I also decided that it had been so long since I had pulled out the watercolors that I wanted to play a bit with them.  Here's what I used:

Close To My Heart White Daisy cardstock
Close To My Heart Everlasting Life Holidays stamp set (retired)
Close To My Heart Your Own Kind of Wonderful stamp set
Close To My Heart Coral Reef sequins
Essentials watercolor pad
Memento Tuxedo Black ink
Paper Trey Ink Boutique Borders Sympathy stamp set
Neocolor II watercolor crayons - Ultramarine, Cobalt Blue, Violet
Black Zig pen

You can get your Close To My Heart supplies here.


Thanks so much for stopping by today. Remember to take some time to enjoy the little things.

This is just beautiful and I do agree completely that simple is often better, especially for a sympathy card. It's a gorgeous, calming design and the clear sequins give it just enough texture.

Welcome to my little contribution to the Operation Write Home Blog Hop.  I am so happy that you stopped by today.  This is the first time that I've participated in an OWH Blog Hop, but I have hopped to other blogs during these hops before.  I can't wait to see all the inspiration out there. Today, I have chosen the Bonus Sketch #12 to use with this hop.  It is a sketch that my daughter chose to have me make her thank you notes for graduation before I even knew the hop details.  What perfect timing!  Be sure to scroll down to the previous post for a full tutorial and to see my daughter's thank you note.  Same technique and sketch, but a totally different card. I used the following supplies: Operation Write Home Bonus Sketch #12 K and Company - Ancestry.com paper Memento Tuxedo Black ink OWH / Hero Art stamp Stampendous - Happy Messages stamp set Thanks so much for stopping by today.
