Almost only cardstock

Last week I attended an online card class called "Crushing on Cardstock" and while some techniques were familiar to me, some were new and I enjoyed learning new things and being reminded of ones I knew. So today my project is cardstock, adhesive and a little bit of ink.

I made this card for a lady that we have been lending support to who lost both her husband and her eldest son. I am not one that expresses myself well in words and so I thought a card would do that for me. I wanted to make the card as feminine as I could, hence the pinks. I wanted to divide the background between the embossed pattern and the checkerboard pattern (both techniques talked about in the class) and so opted for a large card - 5.5 x 8.5 inches. I don't normally make such large cards, so that was a new one for me.

The morning glory spray is an Altenew die set and the "prayers" word is a die for which I created a shadow on my Cameo. I have been working on creating shadows by scanning my dies with the Pixscan mat and then creating offsets to create the shadows. The sub-sentiment is from that same Hero Arts set as the prayers word die.

I completed the card by adding the two golden butterflies at the top of the card.
