I've been spending time the last couple of days playing around with a Technique which one of my fellow designers, at Sparkle N Sprinkle, April Williams, had shared last week. She called it Acetate Resist. I made a few pieces, using the technique, and decided that this butterfly piece would work well for a sympathy card.
I followed the tutorial and then also stamped the butterfly image in the center, on top of one that was already there, in black Staz-On. The butterfly image can be found on Set 398 - Brocade Backgrounds. I happened to have the butterfly ribbon in my stash, and I thought it worked in nicely. The saying is from Sympathy Set 382, which I cut and embossed with Spellbinders Labels Nine.
This is how it turned out:
