Christmas @ Michele's

WHAT?!?!

OK, just kidding in the literal sense but I do have a few cards to share from my Spring trip...
Yes, Michele, you may pick up your chin and resume your regularly scheduled programming...

These cards all came from Michele's stash of adorable things while I was there last Spring.  I actually have so many, that I'll split this into two groups, today's group - Floral/Fauna, which perfectly fit into several challenges -- Win/Win!

This card topper was my first attempt at better press ~


Pressed, cut with a new frame, and watercolored, this one will go to Triple B - October.

My second card comes from an adorable little stencil, that just happened to find a way to jump into my basket once I returned home ~


Ink blended with the colors below (thanks, Michele, for showing me this trick of  snapping a photo of the colors), cut and mounted on a leftover piece of press plated cotton left from a recent PFS Event.  The sentiment is actually foiled in black, though hindsight I wish I would've popped it up...  This card will go to The Flower Challenge #96 - Add a Stencil.


Today's final card is another adorable image, this one from Anita Jeraim, which I now see has already been used in the inspiration gallery!  Oh well, I hope they forgive me and let me add it in ~


Copic-colored, die cut and mounted on freebie shimmery red panel from Spellbinders.  The sentiment was fussy-cut and added, after adding a bit of shimmer gel to the snow and snowball.  This one will go to Peace On Earth #73.  I'm pretty sure you can see the inspiration...


 


Card #1:  Splb Christmas Greetings; PB - Elegant Stitching frame
Card #2:  WF - Layered Poinsettia stencil; PB - Elegant Stitching frame
Card #3:  CCC - Snow Happy/Happy Days?; Splb - shimmer cardstock

Well now that I've chatted your ears off and made your eyes weary, I will bid you adieu so I can do yardwork!  No rest for the weary, right?!  I hope you truly have a magnificent, blessed day!

Hugs,
