Legacy Butterfly

Hi all and welcome to my blog.  Today's card uses the latest sketch at Freshly Made Sketches, where Cecile Ribon is our sketch hostess.  And here is her sketch:

As I mentioned last week, I have joined a group of bereaved mothers who are sending cards to other bereaved mothers just to let them know that we understand, we care and we hurt for them as well as for ourselves.  This is one of the cards I made to send.

As soon as I saw Cecile's wonderful sketch I saw ink smooshing for those squiggly lines and that's exactly what I did.  I white-embossed this beautiful butterfly from the Forever in my Heart stamp set and then used acetate and distress inks to smoosh ink over the embossed area.  Once it was dry, I die-cut it with a stitched die and added the sentiment.  I adhered it to a white card base with foam tape and finished off with some black enamel dots.

The inside, which I didn't photograph, has one of the wonderful sentiments from this set, which is perfect for people who have suffered a great loss, especially those who have lost a child.

Thanks for visiting.  I hope you'll check out the wonderful cards from the rest of the DT.
