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,
TK

Three BEAUTIFUL cards TK! Your better press card is so pretty and beautifully colored...may have to press that one next time I go to Michele's! (Maybe when I'm there for Christmas...hahaha! JK Michele!) Your stenciled WF Poinsettia's are so pretty and just perfect for our challenge this month...thanks so much for sharing that with us!! And your deer and little bunny are so sweet on your last card...totally makes me smile! Sweet post my friend!! Hugs. :0)
Pretty eye candy! So fun using shared products 😀
Wonderful cards! Beautifully made for holiday giving! Thanks for sharing.
TK, your beautifully watercolored Cardinal is such a classic Christmas card - I really need to get those plates out for another play!
Now why didn't I think of that Poinsettia stencil set myself? I so happy to see your pretty pinks in our TFC gallery - thanks for playing, my friend! [love that gorgeous sentiment!]
Lastly, but certainly not least - I just adore that CCC image - it was the perfect choice to represent that darling image from POE Christmas!
What a joy-filled post! Christmas is pretty quiet around here - come on over!

You have inspired me, TK. I have that press plate and haven't used it yet. I also have the poinsettia stencil and made a lot of cards with it last year. I'm so far behind I'll get it out again to do multiples. You did a beautiful job coloring both of those cards and the one with the darling deer and bunny.
Wouldn't it be fun to spend Christmas with Michele? Your cardinal Christmas card is so beautifully colored, TK, and so are your stenciled poinsettias! Love, love, love this image of the bunny's offering to the sweet deer! Three pretty ways to celebrate Christmas!
Of course we don't mind at Peace on Earth if you use a stamp one of the Design Team (me) used! I'm happy to see someone use it a different way and give me more inspiration for using mine in future. I love the way you trimmed the image and the sentiment and set it all on a red card base! Thanks so much for joining us at Peace on Earth!
Triple trio of delightful cards. Your last card has a sweet image, the first card is lovely with the cardinal but I think my favorite is that 2nd card with the stencil. So pretty.
Beautiful cards from your crafting with friend, TK. Each one is so special. xx
Gorgeous cards TK! I especially like the ethereal wintery poinsettia design which looks fabulous with its bold sentiment on top. Thank you for coming to play with us at The Flower Challenge! Vicky x
