One seed can start a garden, one candle can light a room, one step can begin a journey, one conversation can start a friendship, one smile from a handmade card can lift one's SPIRIT!

Freshy Made Sketches # 188

There is a sketch up for the new Freshly Made Sketches.
I decided to do the partial die cutting again with a butterfly for my design.
Since I wanted a sympathy card, I wanted to keep it pretty simple.
I sponged on the background with some distress inks.
Here is the sketch and all the info for this challenge

Now that I look at it I think I need some sequins, so I think I will add those!
Thanks for taking a look!
This is my last full day with Linda...we have been having fun trying new techniques and playing with water brush pens.  It is always fun to be inspired by a good friend!
