After my slight cheat of a CAS card for Karen's Doodles UK a few days ago, this one is real CAS I think? I saw a similar layout (by Clare Curd I think) in a magazine and thought it'd work for this one - it's actually a sympathy card for an online friend who recently lost her dad, but I'm not keen on 'with sympathy' as a sentiment, just a personal preference, so it's 'thinking of you' instead.
I've used some gorgeous new papers that I couldn't resist on a recent visit to my local craft shop - they're 'Ella Blue' by GCD Studio. The cardstock is coredinations, 2-layered butterfly cut with a Quickcutz die (I think), sentiment stamp was part of a magazine subscription gift and is by Stampin' Up, flat back pearls from stash. I was about to say not a promarker in sight, but I did use a duck egg one to edge around the sentiment :o)
I'm entering my card for the following challenges:
- Flutterby Wednesdays - open challenge (use a butterfly, fairy or angel)
- Creative Card Crew - die cuts (my 2nd entry)

Sometimes it's good to do something different and this is excellent. I am with you on 'Thinking of you' instead of sympathy :o)

Hi Lisa,
I'm the same with this heat, really struggling with my Mojo and just can't be bothered at all.
Love your butterfly, it's a bit gorgeous and such a beautiful card. I do think your sentiment is a lot nicer too.
Hope you feel more like your normal self soon. I love the sunshine but this incessant heat is getting a bit much now....
Lots of love and big hugs xxx

I can say without hesitation that this was the perfect card for the situation, and that I'm not fond of 'With Sympathy' either. Thank you! xxx
