SYMPATHY
The mood that I chose to represent is "sympathy". I used Yellow for the main color even though yellow
is thought to represent, energy, cheer, and optimism.
When I was in grade school my mother told me of having watched a movie about someone who had died and a loved one visiting her grave noticed yellow butterflies flitting around the gravesite. I don't remember how the person knew that the butterflies were there for the loved one, but they did.
This story seemed so important to my mother that I wrote a little song for her. (VERY LITTLE)
" Pretty yellow butterflySing to me a lullabyPretty yellow butterflyCome along with me"
I was excited to use my Altenew "Painted Butterflies" stamp set as it is one of my favorites. To color them I used the yellows from the Golden Sunset and Pocket Full of Sunshine Crisp Dye Ink Cube sets.
And embellished with gold jewel dots
After stamping I mounted the white layer onto a matching yellow layerand then adhered to a black card base
Thinking I was done I then realized a little bling might be a good touch
and added some gold beads as seen in the top. photo.
Thanks for sharing your lovely memory. That is a very sweet card.
