Sympathy

It is never really a good time when you have to make a sympathy card. We found out our neighbour lost her mother a few days ago so I wanted to make her a card. I seem to pull out the Butterfly Corner embossing folder a lot for my sympathy cards. I love the detail on it and of course I love the butterflies. I bought mine at my local craft store you can find it online at Darice amongst other places . It was one of the first cards I made when I got into card making.  Here is my original card if you want to take a look :) I have made many other cards using this embossing folder it is so versatile here is another example. You can pretty much do anything you want with it. 

I used two different Unity stamps in this  card the sentiment is from the Sympathy and Sadness stamp you can find it at Unity Stamp Company website here. The butterflies are from the A Friend Loveth stamp set you can find that here.  I embossed some lilac card with the folder then mounted it onto a white cardstock base. I stamped the butterflies onto vellum using Versamark ink then added white embossing powder and set with my heat gun. I cut them out added some white pearls and used a fabric glue that dies in clear to stick them onto the card. I used the same white embossing powder on the sentiment to make it stand out.

         

  Hope you like my card thanks for stopping by :)

I am entering this card into the CAS-ual Friday's card challenge

Monday Unity Itty Bitty challenge

I took part in the Itty Bitty A Day Challenge going on this week.  We have to use an Itty Bitty stamp so I chose the  Here Today, Here Tomorrow stamp set.  I thought it would be fun and I LOVE my Unity stamps. I also have an obsession with butterflies :)

I stamped the butterfly on Kraft card using white pigment ink then heat embossed with white embossing powder. I added a strip of blue card from the DCWV Citrus Matstack and placed it along the bottom of the card. I mounted the sentiment then added some pearls. I then glittered up some of the butterflies. I think it turned out pretty good :)
