I am playing along with Just Add Ink's Just Add Sympathy prompt this week, as well as Bitten By The Bug 2's Butterflies or Bees challenge.
I started by cutting the card in a soft Champagne cardstock, which I thought worked well for a sympathy card. I then added some soft blues and greens behind the negative images.
The butterfly was cut from the Art Philosophy cartridge, and I stamped over ti with a border stamp set for extra interest. I also stamped an extra line under the cut sentiment, as I thought it needed something else.
This card was a quick and easy one of mine to put together as I have been feeling under the weather this week, but I am glad that I still made time to create.
Thanks for stopping by today!
Sympathy cards are THE hardest to make, in my opinion, and this turned out beautifully. It feels very serene with the blues and greens. The butterfly looks gorgeous-love the stamping you did on top to set him off! Thanks for joining us at BBTB2 this week!

I love the effect you got filling the die cut negative spaces with contrasting colours Lauren. It really looks lovely. Thanks for joining us at Just Add Ink this week.
