This week's Featured Stamper at SCS is Danni (aka danni5199). I wasn't familiar with Danni's work but that's one reason I enjoy doing the Featured Stamper Challenge. I love finding new inspiration! There's no envelope and my butterflies are lined up like little soldiers, but I hope it's close to Danni's fun card.
Here's is another with different colors.
I also had inspiration from Liz at Simply Creative. What a wonderful idea to use up some of those snippets!
Pixie's Crafty Workshop is always looking for cards made for snippets so I'll go over there again. I was waiting at the gate on my last card and was a bit lonely being the first one in. The real reason I was so early was really that I was late for the last weekly antics and figured I'd just wait til the gates opened back up.
All supplies are Stampin' Up! unless otherwise noted

It's been such a wonderful long weekend. Time spent with friends and family, crafting and a clean house are all things that make me happy.
A friend sent me this link from U-tube. It's an amazing rendition of Amazing Grace. Here's the link if you're interested.
Thanks for stopping by. That makes me happy too!
Enjoy!
Bonnie, both cards are wonderful! Love the colors you picked too. So pretty.

This would make a great set of cards Bonnie, I love the purples and the teal. The bling really makes the butterflies pop too.
ReplyDeleteThankyou for the Merry Mondays link too :) Cathy x

ReplyDeleteWonderful snippetws cards. Love the ombre look! You always have a pretty EF design somewhere on your cards! This one is no exception!
ReplyDeleteAlways get inspired by your wonderful cards. You manage to create such a beautiful layout, and each of these are lovely with the different colorways. I LIKE butterflies. And my fav emboss folder of 'em all I do believe. It's a classic. TFS & Hugs.

ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful CAS cards with that display of butterflies. Lovely colors!
ReplyDeleteOh, Bonnie...thank you for sending that link of Amazing Grace. How beautiful! That is a great way to start my morning. I think I'll have to listen to that every morning. It just stirs the soul.
Wonderful idea for using up scraps. I love both colour combinations. I listened to the You-Tube Amazing Grace you linked to - beautiful and so haunting with the sound of the pan-pipes.
ReplyDeletePretty pretty pretty
ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful cards Bonnie - love the colours you used against the white embossed background. And snippets too of course:)
ReplyDeleteI just listened to the You Tube link - beautiful. The funeral I was at last week was in fact the Scottish chap who I wrote fondly about only a few weeks ago - he called us his Three Wee Witches. And we sang Amazing Grace at the funeral as well. Thank you for the link.
Hugs, Di xx
