with sympathy - Stamping Pals #14

I'm excited today to be a featured guest designer at StampingPals Challenges!!  I entered in challenge #12 and won and was invited to be a guest in StampingPals Challenge #14.  (<-- Click on the name to visit the challenge.  And you can check out my winning card here.)

It's already April 1 in Australia.  How cool is that?!? :)

Here's my card then I'll share the sketch...

I do not enjoy needing to make sympathy cards, but I do enjoy making them because of the opportunity to be a comfort and hopefully help bring a smile through the tears.  

For this card, my Kraft panel is dry embossed with CB Swiss Dots.  My paper is the Paper Studio Country Road.  I used Die-versions Stitched Circles and embossed that with Swiss Dots, as well.  My sentiment is from Raisin Boat's Stunning Silhouettes and cut with a fishtail banner from Spellbinders Lacey Pennants.  The chipboard butterfly is from my stash.  It's not noticeable in the pic, but I used my Wink of Stella glitter pen on the butterfly.  It gives a nice shimmer IRL.   

Here's the sketch for this challenge...

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you come over and play along at StampingPals!!
