Sympathy Card


I made this sympathy card this morning. My daughter's boyfriend's granddaddy passed away this week and I thought I'd send them this card. How appropriate that over at 365 Cards today they are asking us to make sympathy cards with no sentiment on the outside.

I used Cricut Cartridge Indie Art to make the butterfly. The card base is DCWV textured cards. Paper and ribbon from scraps.

I hope everyone has a blessed day!

  1. That's lovely Janis. The butterfly, to me, has always been a symbol of rebirth - the end of the caterpillar bringing life to the beautiful butterfly. Nicely done without being too sombre.
