I was a very lucky girl indeed to win a little SSS prize pack recently. It came with a lovely little Kaisercraft stamp set that was packaged so beautifully, I decided I'd try to recreate the darling tag from their Lilac Avenue collection. OH! and the Hello from E.H. Mondo Magnolia set was [still] on my desk begging for a little kiss - stamp kiss that is - which you'll see right there on that Hello upon close inspection!
For CASology Week 146 - third helpings!! [which has not happened in a long time]:
PTI Vintage Cream CS; MFT Linen background stamp, and ink; Studio G Navy dye ink;
and the perfect words [always] from Winnie & Walter =]
Many thanks to Simon Says Stamp and Heidi for her generous heart - but mostly thanks to Samantha Elson, who just plain makes my day quite often!!
And to c... for putting a full Neil Diamond mix of songs in my heart - and a smile on so many faces...

Beautiful! My hubby has memories of traveling in the family van with everyone asleep but he an this dad. Dad had a Neil Diamond 8 track playing as her drove! Thanks for bringing this happy thought to my day :)
ReplyDeleteAs "HE" drove ~ OY!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is absolutely stunning. Love that subtle background you added, and the kissing on the 'hello'. Another Neil Diamond fan here, although I have not thought of him in a while, your card reminds me of when I went to see him in concert. Thanks for playing (X3) at CASology this week. You are always welcome to come back for 4ths you know.
ReplyDeleteOh, I do love how that came packaged. Love our gorgeous recreation as well! Congrats of the wonderful win at SSS
ReplyDeleteStunning Michele!

ReplyDeleteThe "kissed" sentiment? Perfect touch! This is one gorgeous card!
ReplyDeleteLOVE x LOVE this fabulous card, my sweet friend! Thank you for the shout out (I'm blushing and flushing with joy) and for acknowledging our shared 'adoring' of Mr. D with this gorgeous card! The *kissed* hello, the pretty floral-y flourish, the patterned paper...swooning! Yayyy you for winning the prize pack; you've showcased it with impressive style and flair!

Man I will be singing Neil all day now! Love your card and tag Michele! Thank you for sharing a third helping at CASology!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your win! It is always so fun to receive happy mail. I adore that background. My hubbies friend is coming to US, I am putting an empty bag to go with him to bring me some goodies. That background stamp is going to be one of them. I seem to have soft spot for linen nowadays...

ReplyDeleteYes, C did it to me too!! I have had "Cracklin Rosie" on repeat in my brain!! This card is lovely and so well done - so cool where you got the inspiration from!! Great thinking!!
ReplyDeleteI've been meaning to do some kiss stamping and keep forgetting even though I put it on my "to do" list. It looks fab on the "hello", Michele. The entire card is fabulous actually. Love the linen background stamp and that flourish is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteEverything about this card is just PERFECT, Michele ... it's elegant, chic, stylish and such a stunner! Hugs, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteI confess that I know nothing about Neil Diamond or what songs he sings but your card is gorgeous and I agree that Ms. c is an awesome chick!

ReplyDeleteI do like Neil Diamond but hate it when songs get stuck in my head.
Now on to your fabulous card...love the beautiful blue and how you stamped that fabulous images.
"Sweet Caroline...Ba ba ba..."
ReplyDeleteGreat, now I have Neil in my head. Can't stop it! He's addicting! :)
