Vellum Sympathy Card

I needed a sympathy card for a friend's aunt who passed away recently and inked up my PTI With Sympathy set.
The base is white cardstock that I've stamped the grass-y image on repeatedly. Over that is a vellum layer that I stamped my sentiment on the front and the butterfly on the other side. Added a couple of pearls and satin ribbon. The vellum adds a really soft, pretty sheen and gives this simple card another dimension of interest.

Keeping it short today as I have to meet a friend for lunch today. Thanks for stopping by!

Stamps: With Sympathy, Life
Ink: Memento Grape Jelly, Sweet Plum, Lulu Lavender, Cottage Ivy, Bamboo Leaves, Pear Tart; Brilliance Pearlescent Olive

    I just this very minute finished a sympathy card and so wish I had this stamp set. The sentiment is just perfect. This card is so soft and pretty. The vellum was a wonderful idea for this card.

    What a beautiful and tasteful card! I love the way the vellum softens the image. This is so delicate. I'm sorry you needed one to give away - but can't think of a more lovely way to express comfort than this!
