Freshly Made Sketches #31 and CR84FN #52

This week the fun lovin' Rita has a sketch that I absolutely loved! Unfortunately, I needed to create a Sympathy card for a friend who experienced the loss of a parent last week. Very sad.
I used the colour combo over at CR84FN, it was just perfect for the card I needed to make. The flower stamp is an old one from Stampin' Up that was a single stamp. The sentiment is Penny Black and the butterfly comes from a Martha Stewart punch. The paper is very pretty from Pink Paislee. I used the En Francais Stamp for the side panel.




We hope that you will join Freshly Made Sketches this week!  Please be sure to visit the other Design Team Members to see their wonderful creations!

    This is such a beautiful card Lesley. I think it has exactly the right feel for a sympathy card, elegantly, beautiful and heartfelt. They are very hard to make but I think yours is perfect.

    This is such a beautifully crafted sympathy card! The knotted satin ribbon really pulls the eye in, but I love the scripted panel underneath the punched panel too! Very pretty card!
