None of us like making them, and we like sending them even less. Unfortunately, it’s part of life. I’m talking about sympathy cards. For this reason, I make a few to keep in my stash and pull out when necessary. I figure it’s easier than making one for someone specific.
This card uses all three images in the Jumbo Cling Butterfly Trio. I stamped the largest butterfly in orange first, then the middle-sized image in blue and the smallest in green. I used Distress Inks for all three.
Then I used some Aged Ivory Embossing Enamel to apply my new favorite technique – Fran•táge!! I stamped the sentiment from the Perfectly Clear Sincere Sentiments set, cut it out, distressed it, and placed a metallic frame around it. A little sparkly embroidery floss tied around the top puts the finishing touch on the card.
