Sympathy card

Postby CaroStaton » Thu Jan 12, 2012 12:14 pm

I made this card for a friend. For the background I used distress inks, and then stamped the Penny Black flower on top, finally finishing off with the little punched butterfly. I would love to know what you think.

Caro,
that's gorgeous! Just how a sympathy card should be.
Well done

I know I'm not perfect but I'm so close it scares me!

I like it although I think I would have preferred a lighter coloured butterfly.

Thank you both. Funnily enough BB, I tried a lighter butterfly but it looked awful (to my eyes anyway) which is why I went with one matching the background mat and added the gems to lighten it slightly!

Now you mention matching the background mat I have peered very closely and realise the mat is dark purple - at first glance I thought it was black. Now I see why you went for the darker butterfly.

That's a lovely card, I haven't used distressed inks so will have a peek.
