Soooo, it's Monday, which means that it is time for another challenge over at Created With Love, and this week our theme is Miss You or Sympathy. As I have always struggled with sympathy cards, I decided to go with the 'miss you' element.
This week we are sponsored by Broken Box Stock, and here is my DT card:
I made my card by colouring my image with promarkers and then layering this onto some purple card.
I used two papers from a freebie paper pack I got ages ago with Cardmaking & Papercraft. I used the lighter paper as my DP and then die cut the flourish and the butterflies from the darker paper. The flourish is a sizzix die, which the end of which I tucked behind the image and the butterflies are Cheery Lynn I think. The butterflies came as a set of three and I decided to use them all, as I haven't used them much since I bought them, but they are pretty. Once die-cut, I curled the butterflies around a pencil to add some shape and attached them to the card by gluing only the centre of the butterfly and allowing the wings to 'flap'.

To finish, I added some self-adhesive kraft 'lace' along the bottom and some self-adhesive flat-backed pearls in the top corners.

I will be sending this to my little sis next time I send her a parcel, as she is stationed abroad at the moment and I miss her terribly, so it fits in well with the theme.
I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
A Creative Romance - Vintage
Digitally Sweet - Anything Goes
Penny's Papercrafty Challenge - Anything Goes
Brown Sugar - Anything Goes
By Lori - Use Paper
Lacey Sunshine - Anything Goes
Happy Crafting!
