With Love & Prayers with Stencil and Embossing Paste

Hello and welcome!

I made a sympathy card today - these are always so hard for me to make.

I started with the Simon Says Stamps New Beginnings stencil called "Flutterings" and added glossy white embossing paste to a piece of card stock.  After it dried, I inked the rest of the card in Distress Inks in blues, greens and yellows.  Then I added it to a white card base and took a circle die and cut the center out of the top of the card.  I cut another circle out of white and placed it inside the card.  

Using my Misti to line the butterflies up, I stamped one on the inside to line up with the one on the front, then a few more in the inside.  I used the circle dies to cut a really thin frame for the outside of the card front and a thicker one to put on the inside of the card front.  I cut 2 MFT scalloped frames and put the black one on the front of the card and the white one on the inside of the card. 

I also cut a very this black frame A2 size to put on the inside of the card outside the scalloped frame edge.   The butterflies and sentiment are all from Gina K Designs "Sending Love' stamp set!

All stamps were stamped with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink.  Lastly I sprayed the front of the card with lots of shimmer spray.

And here's a view of the inside of the card:

Thank you so much for stopping by!
