Butterfly Sympathy Card

This was a hard one, peeps. Really hard. Sympathy cards are never enjoyable to make, but to make one when your own heart is hurting from the loss? Much harder. 

This was made especially for my Aunt, who as a quilter loves bright colours. I didn't get the August Paper Pumpkin kit, but when I saw the refill online I chose to get that instead. This entire butterfly/floral laser cut piece was spritzed with shimmer spray then popped up with slivers of foam tape onto one of the included cards in the kit. There are some soft colour areas on the card base that show through the openings in the die cut and the envelope has coordinating prints on it.

Here is the inside, where I wrote her my personal note of sympathy. My cousin's passing was sudden and tragic, and I think of her every day. 😢
