With Deepest Sympathy



Hello and happy Friday.  I'm here with a quick post with a card for the first day of PTI's 8th anniversary celebration.


I masked off a rectangle, and used a stamp from Ombre Builders to fill the space.  I die cut 2 butterflies from Life is Beautiful--one in Aqua Mist and one in Vellum, adhered them with a skinny bit of score tape just in the middle, and stamped my sentiment from Words of Comfort on a Double Ended Banner die.  I used white pearls that I colored with a Copic Marker to decorate the center of the butterfly and also to hide the adhesive.  I ran my front panel through my Big Shot once with the Canvas/Linen Impression Plate and then again with the LID Side Stitched Rectangle die.

I also ended up rotating the sketch.





Thanks for Visiting

  20. So SO pretty, Joyce... I'm not familiar with that stamp set from PTI. If those are individual lines... you are one patient and precise person!
