Simple Sympathy Card

I think there are years where I don't have the need for a sympathy card.  Sadly I've needed several the past few weeks.

I made several of these cards yesterday...very simple and fast but with a touch of elegance, I think.  (slight glare from the light and glitter on the bottom left but it is what it is!)

I used paper from My Minds Eye called Grand Vignettes by Carina Gardiner (it has a glittery look to it...sorry, Donna!...but I love me some GLITTER and SHINE!).  The butterfly is a Hero Arts stamp from the Vintage Engraving Set. 

 I stamped on black with Versamark and embossed it with Bridal Ranger Embossing Tinsel....I love that stuff....it is so pretty when melted!
Ranger 1 Ounce Tinsels Embossing Powder, Bridal
 The sentiment is from a Heidi Grace set and I also embossed it.  No ribbon or other bulky embellishments were added so that they'd mail easily.

I made four of these in less than an hour.  Sometimes fast is good....
