STAMPIN' UP! FLOATING & FLUTTERING SYMPATHY CARD

 It is only a couple of days now until Stampin' Up!'s January - June Mini Catalogue ends.  One of the bundles I will be sad to see retire is the Floating & Fluttering stamps and dies.  I've used these products to make a sympathy card, that I'm sharing with you today.

I started off by stamping the butterflies and foliage (all on one stamp) in Memento Tuxedo Black ink, on Basic White card.  After die-cutting them, I coloured the images with Blackberry Bliss and Old Olive Stampin' Blends markers.  Some sparkly Wink of Stella was then painted over the top of the butterflies.

The background Basic White panel has been embossed with a Meadow Moments embossing folder.  It's a narrow folder, so I ran it through my Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine twice - once to emboss the top of the landscape panel, and again to emboss the bottom edge.

Using the "cloud" edge die, from Basic Borders Dies, I cut the top and bottom edge of a strip of Basic White card.  This formed my sentiment panel, and a landing spot for the butterflies.  Some Elegant Faceted Gems, a strip of Old Olive Designer Series Paper, and a Blackberry Bliss Striped Ribbon bow, finish off my card.

In this close-up, you can see how shimmery the butterflies look:

The embossing and die-cut edge details show up better in this shot:
