I didn't have quite the paper I would have liked, but I'm pretty happy with the results of PTI's Soft Stone, and added a linen-like texture with MFT's Cheesecloth background stamp, and SSS Fog ink. Avery Elle's Laurel stamps, with a few inks: SSS Smoke, Fog, & Lavendar; Altenew Forest Glades & Frayed Leaf; Distress Ink in Dusty Concord & Milled Lavender!
What do you think?
Avery Elle Laurel sentiment; purple vellum from Bobby's stash!
That one will go over to Freshly Made Sketches challenge #226. Rita has created a darling sketch - a keeper, for sure!
I had another little panel done, so I snipped a bit of it to make a little runner of my own, and a card for Time Out who is asking for Spring for their 2nd birthday!!
It has been FAR too long since I've played with Mama Elephant's Sweet Havana
Off to spend the rest of my Sunday with my best guy ... see you tomorrow!

ReplyDeleteOooooh Crate and Barrel would be proud!! These are both amazing! Love the pretty colors!!
ReplyDeleteTo say you were inspired by C&B is an understatement! I love how you pulled out all those lovely colors to create the most gorgeous patterns on both cards, Michele! I think the DT at C&B would be so impressed...I sure am! Stunning cards, my friend!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!
ReplyDeleteWhat pretty cards!! I LOVE your second card with the lilacs!!!
ReplyDeleteI think you've taken that runner and translated it into a perfect card! I love the subtle texture from the cheesecloth stamp and the arrangement of leafy vines is perfect!
ReplyDeleteMaybe you should be designing your own linens, Michele. Your translation is pretty terrific. Love that Sweet Havana set. I put it on the share list.
ReplyDeleteThese are both gorgeous cards. I love the pattern you made and think it is even prettier than the one in the catalog. I think I should stop throwing away all my catalogs without looking at them. Thanks so much for playing along at Time Out this week.
ReplyDeleteWonderful spring cards Michele. I love addition of the lavender, so striking with the green leaves.
ReplyDeleteWow! I love both of these cards Michele! The colors are amazing, of course I love the inspirational photo, even though I have never seen anything C&B if you can believe that! lol The first card is my favorite! Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteThere you are again with Crate & Barrel inspiration--so awesome! Love the runner and your fabulous designs! The colors are wonderful. You should be here with all the green poking up--an early spring in Kansas. We had three varieties of daffodils today!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous! What a wonderful combination of colours - love how you've carried over the pattern from the inspiration pic. Thanks for joining us at FMS this week!
ReplyDeleteMichele, your cards are just as gorgeous as that table runner from Crate and Barrel. Love the colors and your take on that design.
