My card is for the Flourishes pop-up challenge HERE. I love this color combo & I've been wanting to use the Spellbinder lacy square or circle where the design goes to the edge, not just before the lace begins. All the images are from Flourishes Butterflies & Blossoms set. The sentiment is die cut with a Spellbinder oval & the bottom edge is trimmed flat. The little butterfly is stamped & colored with Memento markers twice & the second wing is attached at a slight angle & curved up. Both the floral image & the sentiment are popped up. I appreciate you coming by. I know it takes time & you have lots of choices, so thank you all.

Life
I didn't know I needed a sympathy card when I made the one on Tuesday, but yesterday I found out my friend's husband died over the weekend. He had developed a serious heart problem over the last few months & was recently put on the heart transplant list. Like so many, he didn't live long enough to get a heart. He was my age & very active enjoying his first grandchild & now he's gone. Makes you realize again how precious & fragile life is & what really matters.

Hello Greta
ReplyDeleteGosh, the White embossing design on your square looks amazing it is a palette that is a Wow, and the design with your circle cut for the sentiment is unusual, and one would not think it would work, but my goodness it so does. Adding the coloured butterfly, is another focal point for the eye, it is a perfect sympathy card as there is a feeling of peace emulating from it.
