Let me start by saying this: my brother and sister-in-law went to a Neil Diamond concert, Tuesday evening. #greenwithenvy #iloveneildiamond #sweetcarolineisawesome Okay, that's out of my system!
Bet you'll have Sweet Caroline humming through your mind for the rest of the day...and maybe Cracklin' Rosie, too...and you may even be tempted to do a Youtube search to see him perform... I recommend his BBC 1971 Concert. Just sayin' *grin*
Anyway, enough on swooning over Neil Diamond! Two cards heading into three challenges.
Inspiration from Addicted to CAS #62~Black, White and Gold
and The Pink Elephant #297~Thanks/Appreciation
BUTTERFLIES are back! Yayyyy...
NOTE; Honoured and thrilled to be sharing the winner's circle over at The Pink Elephant! THANK YOU ever so much.
Okay, my little break is done...back to data-dealing and humming..."Sweet Car-o-line...dah dah dah...good times never felt so good..."
Thanks so much for dropping by; your visit and comments add sparkle to my day!

First and foremost - love these gorgeous cards... the butterflies? Spectac-ulous! Where did you get that second one again? I've not played at ATC... hmmm love the gold and black and NEIL DIAMOND!!!!???? Go way back to when you were in nappies to hear my fave Neil tune: "I am, I said"
Awesome butterflies, Carol! Love those big sentiments with them! So glad you shared at ATCAS!
Love these cards! The big winnie & walter sentiments look fantastic with your butterflies. I just got my Painted Butterflies today. Can't wait to play.
If I have to have an ear worm, which I now do, I'm happy to have it be anything by Neil Diamond! Two more addictively beautiful butterfly creations from you, Carol! Thank you for that, too!! Enjoy your day, humming and singing! Hugs, Darnell
GORgeous card Carol! I have wondered how to use those butterflies for cards, and then you go and make this awesome card. I am feeling a mojo moment coming and I don't even have time for it...bugger, bugger.
Be still, my heart with these two GORGEOUS cards, Carol! You are the 'Queen' of the butterfly images and once again you've created the most incredible cards! I love how you played with this color combo and your sentiments are sheer perfection! I'm so happy you've decided to play along with us this week at ATCAS!
Neil Diamond? I didn't realize he was still performing...bet it was a fun concert! I'll try 'not' to hum his songs for the rest of the day, but it probably won't work :)
So I read your post about 1 1/2 hours ago, got busy at work and couldn't comment then (shhhhh!) but have been humming 'Cracklin Rosie' ever since...and will likely continue well into the evening!
Two more beauties that have my heart 'a flutter'. Adore the first card - love the subtle colors! The 'ka-splooshed' background stamp is the perfect backdrop for the detailed butterfly stamp on your second card - matchy/matchy kind of style.
Oh look at you and all of your butterflies! They are gorgeous! I love the stylized ones and the realistic one! Both lovely in such different ways! I went to a Neil Diamond concert years ago. I wasn't a huge fan, but my then hubby was. After I left, I changed my mind! It was amazing! ((Hugs))
Two beautiful cards...butterflies and all!
LOVE your cards....you always do such amazing things with butterflies and these are no exception!
Beautiful butterfly cards! I love both of them but the first is my favorite. I love the whimsical look of them! Thanks for sharing with us at ATCAS. :)
Song sung blue, everybody knows one. And everybody knows your're the butterfly stamping queen, Carol. Two more beauties you've created for us to drool over.
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous. Love your butterflies! So elegant. That second butterfly is really, really pretty even in just black! Thanks so much for playing along at ATCAS xx
Carol, you never fail to amaze me! Your cards are beyond beautiful and it always makes me happy to see what gorgeous pieces of art you come up with! Hugs!!!
Oh Carol. you butterfly queen of the universe, you.... both cards are beautiful. You made me buy some W&W stash because of all those gorgeous sentiments you've been using. And I too would love to know where that second butterfly image comes from? Beautiful work, as always.
My mom's favorite singer of all time was Neil Diamond. The first concert I ever went to was Neil Diamond. I grew up listening to Neil Diamond. Wow! Yes, I have those songs running through my head now and I am smiling. Thanks for that quick trip down memory lane. Oh and your cards are fantastic! Love the artsy look of the butterflies on the first card and the CAS of the one on the second. Thanks so much for sharing! :)
Wow, they are very beautiful!
Love and hugs

These cards are just beautiful, Carol! I was lucky enough to go to a Neil Diamond concert years ago--it was wonderful & worth getting to bed way late on a work night!
