Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
Sadly I needed another sympathy card. It seems like I'm needing more
of these lately. I have some in my stash, but this is for a very special person
and it warranted a special card made just for her.
I found the stenciled wisteria in my UFO box. It was a past calendar page and
the coloring was a little too bright so I added a piece of vellum over top
and framed it. It was impossible to get a good photo with the vellum.
The butterfly was in with the die and had been cut from a shimmery paper.
I wanted to leave the front uncluttered so I added the sentiment inside the card.

Your sweet and thoughtful comments warm my heart!
Bonnie, I'm so sorry another was needed but you really do make the most wonderful and soothing condolence cards, my friend. I love the Wisteria - do you believe that butterflies carry the souls of our loved ones? A story I heard recently believed to be the reason all those Monarchs gather in Mexico! I like it a lot.

Sorry you needed another sympathy card, but I know what you mean about needing more lately. Your wisteria card is dreamy and very pretty with the vellum and frame over it. The butterfly is a special touch too. TFS
ReplyDeleteI know your thoughts and card will be appreciated. The use of vellum gives the Wisteria a dreamy other world appearance. And I just noticed, you named your creation Dreamy Wisteria.

I love wisteria and it's perfect for a sympathy card, Bonnie. So sorry you needed one. The vellum is a good trick for toning down a bright color. Thanks for sharing your card with us at Time Out.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful card, Bonnie. I like the way you toned down the wisteria with the vellum. The butterfly is a perfect focal accent.
ReplyDeleteI too am sorry to hear you needed another sympathy card so soon Bonnie, but hopefully this BEAUTIFUL card will let your friend know that you are grieving with her and praying for her. I love the look of the vellum over the Wisteria and how much it softens it, and that butterfly is just the perfect added touch! Lovely, lovely card my friend! Lots of hugs and prayers for you too Bonnie!!
ReplyDeleteOh, the wisteria is so pretty! Love the vellum overlay and the white butterfly. This is a marvelous sympathy card, Bonnie. I'm so sorry you needed another one, but this beauty is sure to be appreciated.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful sympathy card! Like you, I find I need more and more of them. Yours is perfection, and I'm sure your friend will find comfort in receiving it.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card. So sorry for your loss.
ReplyDeleteThe stencilled wisteria is gorgeous Bonnie, and I love the ornate frame and the added white and gold butterfly is perfect. Sorry for your friend's sad loss, and it is always hard, but even harder to make a card for a special friend. x
ReplyDeleteWisteria is gorgeous and you've done great work by toning the colours for a sympathy card. This is so lovely and I'm sure will be appreciated by your friend's family. Sorry for your loss, my friend. xx
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful and perfect for a sympathy card, Bonnie.
ReplyDeleteThis has a beautiful, dreamy look. The vellum makes everything look so soft and soothing. Thank you for joining us at Time Out and do check out our new challenge that begins today, it'll be a very fun photo inspiration!
ReplyDeleteOh My....Your Beautiful Sympathy Card will be so appreciated, Bonnie by your special friend xx Love and Hugs and so sorry for your loss dear friend xx
ReplyDeleteI guess we are getting to the age when we need these cards. Sorry for your loss. A beautiful card. x
ReplyDeleteHi Bonnie, I am sorry for yours and your friend's loss. I recently had to send out six sympathy cards. Getting old is not for the faint of heart. That is such a lovely card and I could see it being used in different reasons (birthday, get well, etc.).
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful card with the dreamy wisteria. I'm recalling the scent. Heavenly. I'm so sorry you needed another sympathy card, and this time for such a special person. The losses are hard to bear at any age.
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful Bonnie and I know the recipient will treasure this sympathy card.
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful and I'm sure it will bring comfort and be looked at over and over. The softness added by the vellum is a great idea and the butterfly is a sweet thought.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful card, I’m sure it will be much appreciated. Take care xx
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you've been reaching for condolence cards lately. But there's only support left when a friend faces loss. Your wisteria looks gorgeous and the addition of vellum makes the image less harsh. This card will do the trick for any occasion.
