So sorry

Happy Friday!!!  It's time for a new challenge from the Cut It Up Challenge Blog.  This week, the challenge is: Anything goes

Here is my card for your inspiration:
Here I am three challenges in a row with a sympathy card!  Not fun at all, but I have had a need for all three of them  I used several brand new dies on this one along with a very old sentiment and some pretty, soft, floral papers.  For a bit of sparkle, I added some clear rhinestones to the flower panel and also as "trails" for the butterflies.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  I hope you will hop over to the Cut It Up blog for the full details of the challenge and to see what the rest of the Design Team has created. 

Supplies:
Stamps:  Papertrey Ink "Boutique Borders: Sympathy"
Dies: Taylored Expressions "Simple Stems" flowers; unbranded label dies and butterfly dies

Challenges:
Crafter's Cafe #319--anything goes with the optional twist: no squares
613 Avenue Create--anything goes with the optional twist: floral delights
NBUS--never before used schtuff (this is the first time I have used both the flower die and the butterfly dies)
Beautiful Blooms #29--anything goes (with flowers) with an optional mood board











Fab n' Funky #617--add a sentiment
Word Art Wednesday #701--anything goes with uplifting sentiment
Penny's Challenge #597--anything goes













Krafty Chicks #770--anything goes
Creative Fingers #302--anything goes

    I'm sorry that you've needed sympathy cards. This card is lovely. The patterned paper is soothing and calm and I love the frame you chose. Thanks for joining us at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge.

    I am so sorry you needed another sympathy card, that is tough. However, it is a beautiful card and hopefully will bring the participant some peace. Thanks for playing along with the Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge (AHSC).

    While it is hard to create a card for someone experiencing a difficult time, I'm certain that the recipient will appreciate your thoughts. May you and your recipient find peace in your shared grief.
