Sympathy Card

A lady at work needs a sympathy card so I made her two so that she could have a choice. This is bits and pieces that I've had in my stash folder so this card took about 5 minutes to make. The sentiment is from Heartfelt by Theresa Momber. The doily is French Pastry by Cheery Lynn. The butterfly is one that I had and it quit working so I quit using it and now I can't find it. Way it goes. The bling and pearls were added to keep it from being so dull. Thanks for stopping by. Sharon

Butterfly

I made this card for the challenge at Joan's Gardens. You can make three cards. Have three dimensional flowers with greenery. Use floral design paper. Use a doily. You can hardly see the flowered background paper but it's there. The top yellow and purple flower were made with Marianne CR1202. The bottom yellow flower was made with the scraps of the Tilda Swirl by Poppy Stamps. I added a gem in the center of each. The greenery is Wreath Strip Border Die, Pine Branches, Olive Branches and Iris Leaves, I used Exotic Butterfly and French Pastry, all by Cheery Lynn Designs. I added bling to the butterfly I bought everything at Joan's store and she only charges you what it costs her to ship it to you, win, win. Visit  www.atjoansgardens.com  Thanks for stopping by.

A woman that I work with, her daughter wants a basketball card for her boyfriend and I hope this fits the bill. It's definitely a 3 D card.
