This afternoon I needed to make some sympathy cards. I loved the serene color combination in this inspiration photo from Jay Gee's Nook. It reminded me of the new Gabrielle Collection from Bo Bunny.
I started with this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch & turned it on its side to work with my Paper Inspiration sentiment.
Lots of sponging with distress inks to bring out the rich hues. I detail cut the butterfly from a second sheet of paper for my embellishment.
Since I had lots of scraps leftover after making the first card, I used this week's Unscripted Sketch to make another … I also flipped this sketch on it's side to work with the paper elements I wanted to include. Snetiment is from Impression Obsession Sympathy Sentiments.
For this one I added some punched butterflies & more distress ink sponging … such gorgeous papers in one of my favorite color combinations.
Beautiful papers and beautiful cards. Thank you so much for joining us again at Jay Gee’s, it’s always fun checking out your blog.
I always love when you play along with an Unscripted sketch! What great card, I am amazed at how perfect that second one is for a sympathy card and great colors.
WOW Steph these are both gorgeous! Thanks for playing at Unscripted Sketches!
Beautiful cards here. Both lovely for the intended purpose too.
Amazing cards! I love all the layering of colors and textures. Thanks for joining us this week at Unscripted Sketches, and be sure to come back this Saturday for our big celebration! Becky G.

them both but the 2nd one
is my favorite – so unique!
