Mornin' y'all. It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood, and Ryan is home from daycare *again* (possible Covid exposure...again) so I'd better hurry up and write this post so we can go ride bikes : )
Unfortunately I have to send out a sympathy card today; my friend lost her mother this week.
I always hate making sympathy cards, but I do think this one turned out pretty. I used the Simply Marbleous DSP from the most recent Sale-a-Bration for the card front (it's adhered on a Thick Basic White card base). I like the marble patterns pretty well, but I really hate the silky ones on the other side so I will almost certainly never use those :p They're so mid-90s, and not in a good way.
This week's Freshly Made Sketch:
And the Color Throwdown:
I thought these soft colors would be good for a sympathy card. I stamped the butterflies with Basic Gray + Versamark and embossed with clear EP so I could watercolor them. I tried doing Stampin' Blends markers and the colors were just too bold for what I was going for here. I used Rococo Rose, Soft Succulent, Wisteria Wonder, and Misty Moonlight, plus Basic Gray for the butterflies.
Have a good weekend, peeps. I'd better finalize plans with the Easter bunny....

This is so pretty - great background with those sweet butterflies! Glad you joined us at FMS!
LOVE your trio of butterflies - it's just right for a sympathy card. (I'm with you on the Marbleous paper!!) Thank you for playing along with us at Freshly Made Sketches.
