Sympathy Card

Well, I had to make a sympathy card for a couple of friends.  Making a sympathy card is never something I really like to do but unfortunately they are the ones I have make most often.  That being said I do like the way they turned out.

I stamped the background in chocolate ink, then clear heat embossed the leaves and branch.  I then went back with tea dye distress ink and rubbed around the leaves to make the image pop out.  Then wipe off the excess ink with a cloth.  I then attached a butterfly.  I always like to include a butterfly on a sympathy card... I love butterflies and they symbolize new life!
