All occasion card featuring handmade paper, ribbon, embossing and vellum butterfly


 My oldest aunt has passed away at 91.  We are headed to the funeral this weekend and I got this card ready for her family.  I started with a white card and chalked the edges in pink.  I added faux stitching to the edges of the trimmed handmade paper, then an embossed strip and a pink sating ribbon.  I hand stitched the ribbon to the center of each motif using white thread.  I tied on three short lengths of the same ribbon on the right side and a hand embossed butterfly on the left hand side.  I added a green body to the butterfly (SX) to help it stand out and to accommodate the glue I used to secure it to the card.  It will be nice to see our cousins again!!  Therese
