Good morning, Friends!
Remember I was recently blessed with going to Michigan, meeting and being hosted by Michele? Well, I finally got a couple "makes" together from our playdate with Marcia! We're posting them today, and I'd love it if you visited them too, I've provided the links below.
Our first card was provided by Marcia, stamped and a square card base, so this one will be entered at The Flower Challenge #89 - Square Card and Trible B for the butterflies ~
The wreath was stamped, then water colored with DIs and fussy cut so I could pop it up, over the embossed background. While at Michele's, she gave me that adorable circular-cut sentiment, so I knew I had to use it too!
My next card was stamped, colored using the matching stencils, then die cut. While at Michele's, we worked together to figure out her very obstinate foiling machine! The connection is so harsh, that it literally took two of us to pull it apart, so then we worked to figure out the correct shim/no shim, pressure needed, embossing machine to use, until we had some successful foilings. She was gracious to gift me a couple of backgrounds using foil plates I don't have, and this is one of them! Now, Michele can foil away -- well as long as her Hubby is nearby!
Beautiful, right? While Peonies aren't the first thing to bloom, they still remind me of the warm weather coming. This card will head over to Four Seasons challenge - Spring.
Oh my, thanks to Michele and Marcia, we had an amazing day! Many more things to come, but this is our post using the same main element! Thanks for a great day, Ladies!
Now, I know you're curious about Michele's and Marcia's makes, so head on over, you'll be glad you did!
