I dug deep into my paper stash and found these snippets of some long-retired SU! papers and made a sympathy card with them. I guess you could say I've hoarded them, but I thought these pretty colors and patterns would work for a sympathy card which I needed to make. The butterfly is an unbranded die that a friend gave to me years ago, and I used a MFT notched border die which was also a gift from a friend years ago that I use quite often. The sentiment is SU! teeny tiny wishes (r) and I added 3 diamond gems to the butterfly to finish it.
I'll share this with these challenges:

Thanks for stopping by and I wish you a wonderful day in May! April sure did fly by quickly didn't it??

💙💙 this! Your use of patterned paper & layout is fantastic! Thank you for joining us at the Colorful Options Challenge. I hope you have a crafty & peaceful week. Cheers, Makira
So beautiful.
This is just beautiful, Carol! I must hoard my papers, too, because I have a whole package of this! I think your butterfly is very fitting for this sympathy card and a wonderful addition to that pretty paper. This is going in to my favorites folder for a case in the future. Just love it! TFS and have a wonderful day, my friend! :)
Gorgeous card. Carol. Sympathy cards are not always easy to make, but this one is perfect! Hugs, Valerie
I don't ever remember seeing those papers from SU by WOW! I LOVE THEM! This is so pretty and the butterfly is the perfect die to add with the patterned paper. Love your card.

These paper snippets are really perfect together and your Sympathy card looks so sweet and elegant! It's always a satisfaction when hoarded things come in hand at the right moment and bring us an inspiration, isn't it? Those tiny gems on the butterfly body are a precious touch! Love the beautiful neutral colour for the notched border, the butterfly and the sentiment mat, you founded really a perfect match with the patterned papers!!
Have a lovely week, dear Carol, filled with God blessings and simple pleasures! :) Send you lot of hugs and love
Beautiful sympathy card and papers

Unfortunately we need this type of card from time to time and this one fits the bill nicely
Isn't it funny how we buy paper we love, then don't want to use it because it's so pretty! I can see why you saved it though, it is lovely and made a beautiful card. Blue and beige is a wonderful color combination and blue is my favorite color.
A super butterfly card made using up some of your hoarded papers!
Thanks for coming to play in the Snippets Playground. Come up to the Treehouse and enjoy a cocktail or two - the usual suspects are there! x
I really love this card Carol - it's so soothing and just right for its purpose. Great use and matching/pairing of different snippets too.
Hugs

Wow, those papers are just gorgeous and I can certainly understand why you would hoard those! It's a perfect card to make for a special occasion and the butterfly is stunning on here, Carol!
Sympathy cards are never fun to make and I hate that we need to make them, but you have made a beautiful one here Carol. The papers are gorgeous, love the colors. The butterfly is a very pretty one as well. A nice, serene and comforting sympathy card. That's all we can ask for when making them. Love this one Carol. Hugs, Brenda
Just BEAUTIFUL Carol ... love the color combo! Thanks so much for joining in the fun at our Sisterhood of Crafters challenge! Good Luck and we hope you’ll come back often.
