The most important thing when ill, is to never lose heart

Sharing a card I’ve made for a colleague who is going through treatment for an illness featuring the pretty Painted Butterflies from Altenew.

I am playing along at the Tic Tac Toe Challenge using the middle column so I’ve done my butterflies in a rainbow of colours and picked my papers to match.  For the sparkle I’ve winked the background to the butterflies and the sentiment, which is from the Thoughts & Prayers set from Stampin’ Up!, and also added in some gems in matching colours.  Finally, my semi circles and one butterfly have been die cut.

My card follows the layout at Sketch Saturday.  My only change was to swap out the flower embellie for a butterfly.  I decided to dry emboss the background so I could play along at Pause Dream Enjoy.  Hoping this bright and happy card brings a little cheer to my colleague especially when filled with well wishes from others at work.
