Thinking of you

 

I made this card for a dear friend in memory of

the anniversary of her sons death, I like to send

a thinking of you card every year.

 

Butterflies have many meanings and symbolisms when you look

up butterflies on line, each color butterfly actually has

a meaning.  Below are a few of the meanings I found:

 

 

Butterfly Symbolism: The purpose of the life of every Butterfly is to set everything

that was once known aside and to embrace an entire new way of being. 

 

In early Christianity, the butterfly was a symbol of the soul.

 To Native Americans, the butterfly is a symbol of change, joy and color.

 

Known for its lightness, the fluttering of its wings, and especially its metamorphosis from a caterpillar into something more beautiful and powerful, the butterfly symbolizes the soul, reincarnation, resurrection, and femininity.

 

My background is Distress Oxides squeezed lemonade

and mermaid lagoon, is that not a beautiful combination?

Butterfly die from Stampin Up.

 

Wishing you a wonderful day.

and/or red, a perfect choice for Valentines week.

 

I used Repeat Impressions Tumbling Hearts on a heart die cut,

layered in up, stamped Repeat Impressions Valentine's, cut it

into three so I could layer it on my three hearts. I then used

some pink and red pattern paper by Sweet Nothings, a heart die

by Sizziz, a bit of Candied Apple Distress Oxides for distressing,

and washi tape for a final touch.
