Wonderful Wings

Hello my friends.

Edited to add that this card was chosen a Favorite at Happy Little Stampers.



There's a new challenge over there. Why not give it a try?



Look what I found in my UFO box this time.


So I thought I'd make another card for 

Curtain Call shows this inspiration.

Can you tell that this design was cut down?
I'm not sure if that makes it a snippet.
This piece was in my UFO box after all.
I'm pretty sure that it started out to be a whole card front.
Some of it ended up in the trash.
So I'm off to
I've been missing my playmates there.


I'm so glad you could stop by.

Enjoy!

Works as a qualified snippet in MY book! Love this sparkling blue butterfly against the dreamy pinks/greens of that garden print. Yay for you at salvaging something you were not happy with, and turning into this beautiful creation. TFS & Hugs too.
