I made this card for One Layer Wednesday Challenge 48...to make a one layer sympathy card using no flowers or trees. The challenge is found HERE. A sympathy card without flowers or trees IS a challenge. I must admit, I looked at the gallery for inspiration...as I had none, and was inspired by the butterflies I saw. Here's what I came up with:
I used one of my favorite butterfly stamps, from Gina K Designs, and inked the stamp with Sahara Sand. I stamped the butterfly on scrap paper each time I stamped, to get a lighter image. I then stamped the sentiment over the 3 butterflies with Early Espresso and embossed. I added 3 scored lines on both sides, and that's it. I thought that when I started this, it would take a long time...it only took minutes...fast and easy!! Now, it's on to another challenge!!
Things I used:
Stamps: Gina K Designs Enjoy the Sunshine, Paper Inspirations
Paper: Bazzill white
Ink: Sahara Sand, Early Espresso
Extras: Scor Buddy, clear embossing powder
Thanks for looking, have a great day!!

Lisa, I love the subtle look of the butterflies...and I've looked at that sympathy stamp several times but never bought it! The scored lines really bring everything together! Beautiful cad!

ReplyDeleteLisa,
ReplyDeleteI love the softness of your card and since I need to make two sympathy cards tomorrow, it really touched me. I'm wondering if you remember and would share with me the name of the company that made the sentiment. It's beautiful.

What a perfect choice to use sahara sand for the butterflies behind the sentiment! Oh so pretty and soft and comforting!
