…And all we need of hell

I have another sympathy card to share today featuring stamps from Altenew’s Beautiful Day and Painted Butterflies.

The front of the card follows the current sketch over at CAS Colours & Sketches.  I’ve used a flower for the circular element and swapped out the thin rectangular element for a butterfly.  To add in my sentiment I’ve used an elegant die from Simon Says Stamp!.

My colour palette and the background stencilling come from the picture at Inspired by All the Little Things.  I used a brush to stencil the quatrefoil background and I really like the way it gave a soft and also mottled effect.  I’ve also picked up the shades of pink for my flower and the green in my die cut.

Over at Papercraft Challenges they are looking for trifold-cards so I thought I would add a bit of interest to my card by creating a card with a die cut in the top layer and stamping on a secondary inner layer.  When you lift the top, you get another butterfly and a further sentiment.  I kept this inner layer very simple and just stamped the outline of the butterflies but did them and the sentiment in gold embossing powder.

A shot from the side to show the tri-fold.
