I die cut the pieces for the butterflies using Altenew's Swallowtail Butterflies layering die set and more of the cardstock covered in Lindy's Magicals for the butterfly bases and the shimmer purple cardstock for the detailed layers. I adhered them to the card and then stamped "Heartfelt sympathy" from Altenew's Craft-Your-Life: Bewitching Rose project kit. I had to stamp it a few times since I was stamping onto an embossed panel, so I would recommend doing the stamping BEFORE the embossing!
For the inside of the card, I stamped the words of Jesus from John 11:25: "I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me...shall live." I think the stamp was from Verve Stamps. I use it a lot for sympathy cards because Jesus’ words are such a comfort for believers.
