I used some very shiny white paper for the background but it appears in a muted gray somewhat. The patterned paper also in grays and pink is from Paper Studio. The butterfly die from Impression Obsession and the sentiment from Hero Arts. The pearls...........ah............the pearls! I can't even remember when I used pearls on a card the last time but they seemed to be needed on this one. I actually even found them pretty quick too! Surprise there!
Anyway, I used the sketch from Freshly Made Sketches so will enter it in their challenge. I'll also enter this in Pixie's Crafty Workshop (snippets).
Thanks for stopping by...........

Lovely card, Lynn - although, yes, they are quite the hardest cards to make. I'm sure it will be well received by the family for your daughter.
This is so elegant and beautiful!! I love the pretty papers and colors!! Sympathy cards are the hardest, but you've done such a wonderful job with this!! Have a great day!! Big hugs :)

So sorry your daughter needs a Sympathy card. This is so very pretty! I love the butterfly and the DP, and the nice row of pearls too.
Oh Lynn what an exquisite card - love the row of tiny pearls - they are the perfect finishing touch to the beautiful card.

Fab use of that sketch, Lynn, and I love the papers you chose! Great idea to add the line of pearls. WOW! I am one of those people who doesn't enjoy sympathy cards and I tend to put them off until needed. What you managed to do quickly is amazing, my friend.
Elegantly crafted- this is a lovely sympathy card with just the right amount of pearls to go with that pretty butterfly and muted colors! A great take on the sketch too!
This is such a pretty butterfly, Lynn, and I love how it looks on the peach color stitched oval! Great use of decorative paper and this sketch!
Lynn, this is so pretty - lovely use of bits of DP!
This is a lovely sympathy card. I can see that beautiful pearl shine on the butterfly and the pearls looks so pretty on this card.
Absolutely beautiful, Lynn!
Lynn, this sympathy card is stunning!! I love that delicate butterfly and the pink and gray colors are gorgeous!
