STAMPIN’ PRETTY STEP-BY-STEP TUTORIAL:
Create a 5 1/2 x 4 1/4 card base using Whisper White Thick card stock.
Adhere a 5 1/4 x 4 piece of Gold Foil to the card base with Snail Adhesive.
Cut a piece of Blueberry Bushel to 5 x 3 3/4. Use a die-cutting machine to crop the butterfly (Springtime Impressions Dies) and “sympathy” (Well Written Dies) at the same time. Adhere to the Gold Foil with Snail Adhesive.
Use the die-cutting machine to crop the butterfly and “sympathy” in Whisper White Thick card stock. Adhere to the negative space (gold areas) of the Blueberry Bushel cropped card stock.
Use the Stamparatus to stamp the “heartfelt” sentiment on Whisper White card stock in Blueberry Bushel ink. Trim to size and adhere with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Add four Metallic Gold Pearls as shown (one on the body of the butterfly).
Use the Stamparatus to position and stamp the sentiment (Well Said) in Blueberry Bushel ink onto the interior of the card.

I love this beautiful card, Mary. The Blueberry Bushel blue with the gold foil is so pretty. With the change of sentiment, it could be a beautiful birthday card, etc. Enjoy your day!
Thanks, Hilda. Great point about the versatility of the card. A simple change in sentiment and it could go just about any direction!
Sympathy cards can be the hardest to create……..but you created a card that is not only pretty to look at…..but looks like it might make the task a tad bit easier to create this card.. Thanks for sharing!
I have needed several sympathy cards lately. This one is quite quick, especially when you run both the butterfly and sympathy die through the die cutting machine at the same time!
Such a brilliant idea to cut the butterfly out of the blue base so that gold could shine through. Love this card!
Thanks, BK. I love the bit of metallic. Ordering more gold foil sheets today!
