Prayers coming your way sympathy card (for BBTB2)

Happy Monday!  Our BBTB2 challenge this week is to make a sympathy card.  I find this type of card VERY difficult to make on the spur of the moment, so I like to have one or two in the stash for those times when I need one.  I picked my print papers first-something kind of soft, warm, and soothing from the Fancy Pants Park Bench 6x6 collection that I had tucked on the shelf.  I wanted something with wings for my cricut cut since my sentiment stamp said "prayers coming your way", so I used the butterfly from Create A Critter up on some pop dots.   I cut the ovals with my old CM cutting system since it was lying out on the table, but could have used Plaintain Schoolbook for those.  The team at BBTB2 has some beautiful card ideas to inspire your sympathy card-we hope you'll link up what you make this week so we can see it too!

  1. This is a beautiful sympathy card Michelle! I love your paper choices, the colors soft and serene. Your butterfly is the perfect choice as well. These are hard to make on a spur of the moment notice, heck they are difficult to make to begin with! But you did a fabulous job with yours. Hugs, Brenda

  2. I love the pretty soft colors of your card. It is so soothing! I don't know why, but I always seem to put butterflies on my sympathy cards, like you. Your butterfly is beautiful and your sentiment matches it so perfectly.
