Happy New Year!!! I hope you all had a safe and Happy Holiday Season!!!
To kick off the new year, the Verve Inspiration team has a blog hop going on today!!! Here is my card ~
The base of this card is Kraft, obviously...lol, and then I added a mat of Dark Chocolate and then a pattern of paper from MME Stella and Rose Hazel papers. I stamped the beautiful Verve sentiment from the New Mercies set. This set is a definite MUST HAVE set!!! I stamped it on Vintage Cream using Early Espresso ink and the cut it out using Verve's Curvy Bookplate die. The edges were sponged using Crumb Cake ink and I added some SU! ribbon and a Jenni Bowlin pin. The butterfly was cut from my SU! dies and I then added some clear rhinestones.
OK, next stop on the hop is SWEET Shannan!!!!
Have a great day!
Lynda
Really like the soft, classic simple feel to this card.

Sympathy cards are the hardest to make I think. I unfortunately need to make one and have been putting it off=( Your card if just beautiful. I love the soft colors and the butterfly.

As soon as I saw your card, I felt it was like getting a soft hug from a dear friend. Your paper choice with that verse is really uplifting.
