Just using a pretty paper (Memory Box) to cover the entire card background and then a solid image over it works best for a quick card. I did stamp the butterfly group on the patterned paper for a little more interest. The main image is a Memory Box stamp. Sponged with Broken China and Peeled Paint - and a little Vintage Photo to age all the papers. The butterfly was colored with Copics and glitter pens. Cut out and the wings left free to float.

Sympathy Card
Every now and then you need a sympathy card. I always like to use butterflies for those cards.

Sooooo beautiful! I love the butterflies stamped on the dp and the larger one makes it all pop!
ReplyDeleteDeb, the background looks fabulous. It´s a really beautiful sympathy card.
ReplyDeleteLove this, Deb--it's perfect for sympathy. Soothing blues and greens in the backdrops and that lovely golden hue on the butterfly. Yes, perfect.
