A blushing swap
Convention is here and I am SO excited, I thought I would share my card with you I have made as my Convention swap. I made 40 of these little babies and I never want to cut another butterfly out again {lol}…. I started making my swaps over a month ago and just did little parts when I had time so it did not seem like such a big job, that also means I have had glitter all through my house that whole time. At first I did not like my swaps but now I really like them, I am a massive fan of Blush Blossom with Close to Cocoa so I had to give this combo a give for the last time at a Convention as they retire soon.
Inside, I did not do this on all my swaps but this one is for someone very special.
All Materials are from Stampin’ Up! and I will update the details once I get home.
Please leave me a little comment love, I so love hearing from your guys

What a gorgeous swap, teneale. I’m sure you have been absolutely mobbed at SU convention, I know i would be a mobee if I was there…
May 22nd, 2010 at 9:15 am
Teneale, you make the most beautiful cards. They are simply amazing! I wish I had gone to convention now, just so I could swap with you.

That is just the most gorgeous card! Yes, a lot of hard work cutting out those butterflys, but worth it!! Have a great time at convention

This is stunning and one of the most beautiful cards i have ever seen. I love the combination of close to cocoa and blush blossom and I think I will miss them too.

If I’d posted a comment every time I’ve loved one of your creations we’d be old friends by now. This latest is so lovely and what a gorgeous colour combo…..I’d never have thought of that but am going to try it now before the colours vanish. It was one of your cards that inspired my love of Sahara Sand with Whisper White. Sarah Klass is my niece and I can’t wait to hear all about Convention from her. I hope you’re having the best time there and come away even more inspired. All the best to you and thank you for putting up such beautiful creations for us to enjoy and be inspired by.

Hmmm, I hope Miss G managed to snap one of these up for me. I had her on a mission!!! lol. It is gorgeous Teneale. Hope you guys are having fun.
May 22nd, 2010 at 6:20 pm
Wowsa, this is beautiful. Well worth the wait and I hope you know who gets one of them. What is that butterfly from? Please?
May 22nd, 2010 at 8:17 pm
OMG no wonder you started a month ago, there is so much in these works of art. I hope you did the stitch holes wtih a machine and not the mat and piercer. Gorgeous!

Hi Teneale,
Can I just say… “I got a swap, I got a swap”, just had to rub it in a bit to those non-attendees. Thank you so much, I love it. Congrats, too, on your trips across the stage, very well deserved.
Cheers,

I was lucky enough to receive one of these swaps and I can honestly say they are MORE gorgeous IRL than they look here!! I am in awe that I have a “Teneale Williams”!! Keep up the beautiful work Teneale
May 26th, 2010 at 5:15 am
Oh my gosh, Teneale!!!! I hope the gals that swapped with you know how lucky they are to have received such a gorgeous, gorgeous card! I can tell you I’ve never received something so intricate and beautiful in a swap before… It looks amazing! I thought you had gone nuts when I saw the inside had been decorated, but then I read this was one of a kind. Phew!!
Amazing! I hope you had a good time at convention!
May 26th, 2010 at 9:12 pm
Gosh that is stunning! I wish I’d hunted you down at convention (for a swap of course!) I think you need to start a petition with this card of proof as to why BB and C2C should not be retired *g*
May 27th, 2010 at 5:47 pm
After seeing your sneak peek … this was the swap I was hunting for the whole time I was swapping!!!! But … (sigh) … unfortunately … I missed out! This is just amazingly stunningly beautiful Teneale! Love the colour combo … and … did you realise … that your tiny sneak peek was enough to convince me that I DID want that stamp! It has arrived … but I haven’t had the time to play yet! Can’t wait to try it out! Thanks for some lovely inspiration! Hugs xxAxx

May 28th, 2010 at 11:37 am

May 28th, 2010 at 7:29 pm
wow what a wonderful card. I am sad that I didnt get to swap with you and I didnt even see one on the boards. I would have given all 4 of my swaps for one of these. Gorgeous!!!
May 29th, 2010 at 11:55 am
My goodness me, these are stunning, why didnt I see you at convention?
May 30th, 2010 at 2:15 pm
Hi Teneale,
I know this is a bit of an odd request, but I am going to be making memorial Booklets for the parents of babies who sadly don’t make it. I love your use of these soft colours & the butterflies & was wondering if you’d mind if i used this idea for our booklets.

How did you make it sooo pretty! Help! I want to make that butter fly! It is sooooo sooo gorgeous.!
June 22nd, 2010 at 4:28 am
Hi Teneale, I am a green newbie to SU. I followed the link from Heather Summers blog to you. This card is beyond gorgeous. What back ground stamp did you use? Did you use versamark or blush on blush? I seriously would love to take a stab at something this gorgeous. Are you will to share your “secret ingredients”? In a month I will be attending my first ever SU convention in Utah. Being in PA, that’s pretty much across the country from us. Very excited to be seeing the SU’s elite royalty in action. Thanks so much for sharing your God given gift.
June 26th, 2010 at 7:00 pm
Oh my gosh you totally have 40 comments about your swaps (not that I am surprised since I am still mourning that I didn’t get one)!! Just wanted to leave a comment and tell you that you are truly an amazing stamper!!!
Hope you are doing well and I’m glad we had a chance to chat at Convention!
