Sweet Sympathy

Sympathy cards seem to always be a challenge for me because I want it to look good but I don't want it to be overstated or too busy.  So with this card I tried to go for the feel of a serene garden by using butterflies, leaves and a stamp with flourishes.  I kept the color palette on the quiet side with muted greens and off white but added a splash of sunshine with the yellow butterflies .  Turns out I was happy with this layout and changed it up a couple more times with different sentiments.

TGIF and have a happy happy weekend!
