I wanted to create a sympathy card that was elegant in its simplicity and this card is the result.
The base card is black cardstock layered with a soft yellow cardstock.
I sponged a setting sun background using an orange ink palette and then stamped the butterfly and floral ivy silhouettes on it. The image is matted on black cardstock and I printed the sentiment "With Deepest Sympathy" below it.
For the inside of the card I used soft yellow cardstock and printed the simple condolence "Thinking of you and your family at this difficult time" on it. I stamped an ivy silhouette and butterfly along its lower edge.
I made an envelope from heavy white cover stock and printed an oval image of the butterfly in the setting sun on the front lower left hand corner to compliment the card.
