CAS-ual Fridays: CFC36

*clings to craft stash* an unfortunate disagreement with the floor (and magazine rack) left me in a fair amount of pain this week so crafting has been out of the question because there was no way I could handle sitting at my desk for any period of time.

I probably shouldn't today, since I'm still a bit sore and my back doesn't like me right now after some of the positions I had to contort myself into to avoid further hurting my leg/hip, however having piled some extra cushions on my chair for something resembling comfort, I'm determined to do at least a couple of cards today!

The first one I've done is for this weeks CAS-ual Fridays challenge.

CFC36: Create a Clean And Simple Project that is only black and white.
*no other colors will be allowed-not even a speck

The sentiment is from Stampin' Up. The Butterfly is from a small set I got ages ago at a £1 store. The card is from the Paper company. The gems are Mark Richards and the ribbon is from my stash.

I wouldn't usually use black/white for a sympathy card, I prefer to use soft pastel colours, but I rather like the effect and it's very simple, just as I like a sympathy card to be.
