Not the easiest card to make.
Especially considering this card is for a little boys family. He was the same age as my youngest son which made it feel even closer to home. I put a lot into this card and it took all afternoon to make. I really wanted the card to have a soft elegant feel, almost calming.
I created 2 cards and layered them together.
I punched 2 tags and stamped with SMS Mini Messages. Then added a little "X"
with my tiny attacher.
This little blue butterfly is so pretty.
The card opened up fully.
Here, I added another butterfly and embossed a paper one. I also cut out his name and added it above the ribbon. Out of respect for the family I took the photo before adding his name. I can assure you it's a beautiful touch.
I wanted the card to be soft if you know what I mean.
Again, I embossed the butterfly and the paper.
Sympathy cards are never easy. And they are even harder when it's for a child. The family is in my thoughts and prayers.
