With Sympathy

One of my husband's friends had his mother pass away and I made this card for him.  I used a Spellbinder die cut with butterflies and a butterfly punch.  I put white chalk over the embossing to try to make it stand out more.

Cardstock:  Bazzil; Recollections
Embossing Folder: Darice
Chalk:  Color Box - Alabastor
Spellbinder:  Butterfly Circle:  Leaves
Flower:  Prima

    It's beautiful! I love the different colors on this and the chalk over the embossing. It's always so sad to have to make a sympathy card but know the family will appreciate this so much.
