Challenge Card













This is a card for several challenge to finish up the large order I had of sympathy cards.  I adore this CAS sketch, I have embossed the background designer paper and then stamped a filigree image from the Verve set Filigree Fantasy onto the emboosed piece in random places.  I wanted the ribbon treatment to have a bit of pop, I added a piece of ric rac under the crinkled ribbon and the added the black burlap string to the button.....I think it looks like a butterfly, what do you think?  Thanks so much to all who are sending well wishes and prayers to my dh..we are grateful!  To read about what is going on, you can go here.  Have a fabulous day...enjoy!
