Starting with a Stamper's Select White card base, I added a layer of Aqua Mist stamped with VersaMark and a design from Turning A New Leaf. My watercolored piece using the "smooshing" technique was attached with foam tape to the Grand Madison Window die cut from Hawaiian Shores. Using Harvest Gold, Aqua Mist and New Leaf, I stamped two floral bouquets on white die cuts from Bitty Bouquets. Before stamping the sentiment, I added a Harvest Gold & Vellum layered butterfly with a clear rhinestone in the center. Can't really see in this photo, but I did add little dots on the flowers using Wink of Stella. Fortunately, this sympathy card isn't needed right now, but my stash was down to nothing.

This is a wonderful sympathy card.I love your smooshing and the flowers and butterfly sitting on the window sill. Very nice design!
Such a pretty card, Kathy! Love the smooshed background for your window frame.
Beautiful card, Kathy! Love the smoshed colors through the window. I always like to have a couple of sympathy cards on had - they are so hard to make when you really need one.
What a beautiful card. It is always good to have sympathy cards in the stash. I am superstitious enough to believe that if I have a stash of sympathy cards, I won't need them, but if I run out of cards, I will need it. So, I try to have a large stash.
Such a lovely Sympathy card! The butterfly is so pretty on the windowsill with the flowers! And I love the background you created!
