Here is the inside:
My design is based off of the now ended Case this Sketch #78. I actually don't need a sympathy card, but I decided to make one since I will inevitably need one. :( I used the oldest punch I have, which is the arch lattice punch by Martha Stewart. It's so old, it's mint green and the sides don't flip up. See?
(Yeah, I'm anal in that I write the name of the punch on the punch, so that the next time I use it, I don't have to waste time looking up the friggin name of the punch.)
The butterfly sticker was hard to photograph, as the top layer is acetate, so here's a better picture of it:

1. I was going to say the Arch Lattice is not that old, but then I saw it was green. Whoa.
ReplyDelete2. And yeah, looking up the names of those punches is a PITA. You are so smart.
3. My Arch Lattice punch is in my Yard Sale pile. I love it, but never use it. Now you have me reconsidering. *shakes fist*
4. That flutterby is GORgeous!
Ummmmm I think that is a GREAT idea to write the name of the punch on the bottom! I am forever googling punches for blog posts!! Love that butterfly! Gorgeous card!
ReplyDeleteThat is one beautiful butterfly sticker. And I agree with Donna -- writing the punch name on the punch is brilliant! This is one seriously pretty card.
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful layout, Chris! I have a loopy punch like this and now maybe I'll use it!! Thanks! I also dig that pp on the inside! I've never seen that done before, you clever girl!! (What's spooky is that I even have that pp and those sticker butterflies!) Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteI think I might need new punches...most of mine are green :) And sides flipping up? What nonsense is that? lol!
ReplyDeleteI love love love this - so perfect for a sympathy card, especially the butterfly - and way better to be making a sympathy card when you don't need it (yet).
I think this is one of my absolutely favorite projects of yours, Chris! Such an elegant and classic design! I LOVE what you did with that border punch. Really love the scattered candy dots, too. And that butterfly is absolutely beautiful!
