Good morning folks, I'm back to the day job today after the easter break, looking forward to seeing the children again. We won't be doing much in these three days as most of the activities will be centered around the Royal Wedding that takes place on Friday just hopping for nice weather again.
Anyway, enough rambling from me and lets get on with my post..
Well its Challenge #12 over on
The theme this week is
With Sympathy
I always find these cards difficult to do and I was at a loss at what to do. I have used this butterfly stamp before and thought that it was perfect for this challenge.
I have coloured with copics and 3D a part of the butterfly and glittered the body. I love the colour purple and is an excellent colour choice for this type of card.
Copic Colours
BV18, 15, 13 (I think those are the colours)
G24, 21, 20
I have decorated the inside using card stock, more designer paper and those gorgeous scalloped circles are from Cheery Lynne XL metal dies.

Hi Tamara, your card popped out at me on the Make It Monday pics as it has a butterfly which I love too.
You've made a really lovely card for a sad occasion which is always so difficult to do.
