I stamped the image with Ranger Embossing Ink and embossed with White embossing powder. I colored the image with markers and the embossing was colored with Copics markers. I colored over the embossing and in places added a thin line of Copic for highlighting. I added the sentiment- and used the anti-static pad over the cardstock so I would not have any fly-away embossing powder.
The image is stamped on the background (bottom layer of green) and left to dry for a watermark look. The coordinations cardstock was embossed and sanded to show the core color.
The butterfly die cut was painted with Fairy Dust Creative Inspirations Paint. The silver rhinestones were colored with the R37 Copic marker.

Shelly, this is such a lovely card--the details are wonderful!
It is always such a difficult task to make a sympathy card, but this is subtle and gorgeous! I am sure this will bring comfort! I sure do hope to see you at AO - really I do!
So pretty Shelly and nice to see green and red used in a non-Christmassy way.
I really like how you used the embossing on this card Shelly. Coloring parts and leaving the white to pop in other places looks wonderful. Beautiful card. Hugs!
Shelly, I am so glad I enlarged the view because the smaller view doesn't do justice to this fantastic card. It should go a long way in comforting the bereaved. I love the way the white makes everything stand out. Thanks for visiting my blog.
Shelly what a beautiful floral image and I love your color choices. Sorry to hear you had to make this card for a reason. Thanks for playing in our neighborhood at 613 Avenue Create!
