Ellen Hutson has an open call for a guest designer for the Pin-Sights Challenge ... I've entered one card/project, but couldn't resist another try =] I do hope you'll join me!
Lucky me that E.H. teamed up with Winnie & Walter for the Mix it Up Challenge this month! I have SO many fun ways to play with W&W cutaways - what 'fun' to get wildly creative with Julie's Wild Garden die cut flowers!
While I had those fun products out, I created another for The Mix it Up Challenge, too:
Adventure IS out there, my friends ... have you checked your garden?
Thanks so much for all your kindness, my friends ... your comments, and support, just make my heart happy.

These are FABULOUSLY elegant Michele. That stitching across the top of the second one is the perfect little touch of TOOT SWEET!
ReplyDeleteWe are enjoying the Cycle of Butterflies too:)) TFS
Woo hoooo! Commenting on time for a change (shock and amazement)! Another duo of delights, my friend. You sure know how to create dazzling floral arrangements, and paired with your W&W word dies...spectacular! Love the polka dots...and the green/light blue/grey combination...and the wood grain...and the everything else! Your stunning butterfly photo is a fabulous reminder than ature is filled with magic....

ReplyDeleteOh Michelle, these are so breathtaking. I love the gorgeous flow of colors and patterns. They are soft and lovely! You rock and I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.
ReplyDeleteSo wonderful Michele, great colour choices and definitely the WOW factor!
ReplyDeleteYou are really on a roll, Michele! I'm loving how you're playing with these blooms, and added polka dots to both cards! Also, your placement of the sentiments is just perfect!
ReplyDeleteI happened to see your FB post this morning...looks like there has been some progress :)
Wonderful colors and designs on both cards Michele. You certainly have a gift for placement and design.

I LOVE the flowers cascading down your first card and the bit of polka dots!! Your second card is just as fabulous with that little bit of stitching. Marvelous cards Michele, both of them!
ReplyDeleteFabulous use of those awesome dies, Michele! And I just love your color schemes!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous work, Michelle! Your color choices are so striking and soothing at the same time. What a fun set of flower dies. I also really like the font in the "fun" on that first card. Oooh and look at the bit of texture in that burlap. Then you had to go and extend the beauty onto a second card. Wow! Guess you struck while the iron was hot! The font on adventure is great and that big flower looks wonderful with the embossing, too. Gosh, you are talented! :) Oh man...you got a Monarch in your yard? Lucky! Ohhh it looks like it just emerged, too. Double lucky! Fantastic photo. Thanks so much for sharing. Happy sigh!
ReplyDeleteTwo absolutely stunning creations, Michele - I hate to say that I don't have any Winner & Walter goodies, but after seeing your post today, that may well change - and soon! ;-)
ReplyDeleteIf you ask me, the Guest DT spot is yours!
Oh my word! These cards are stunning Michele! I don't know which I love better because I am loving them both!!! You are just to talented my friend! Awwww, look what hatched in your yard! Is that a hydrangea plant??? Just beautiful, nature is so amazing. How can one look at the beauty this world has to offer and not believe in God?! Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness! You win!! haha! These are fabulous! I love cards created with just die cuts, there is something so neat about them! You really did a beautiful job with these! Thanks my sweet friend for the nice and supportive comment you left on my blog today! Means so much! :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cards and fabulous die cut work! You have mad skills and any DT would be lucky to have you! And I adored getting happy mail this week <3. many thanks my friend......so beautiful to see your work up close! xox
ReplyDeleteI love these!!! How do I not own these dies?! I've hoarded the ones you gave me because I love them so, but it is high time I use these.
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun project, loved all the paper piecing!
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are fabulous, Michele! Those dies are so amazing. Love the colors and inlays, just beautiful! And of course, LOVE the monarch photo! I signed up yesterday to do all five Monarch Watch Days at Botanica and the Festival of Monarchs special event!!
ReplyDeleteWell you learn something new every day... are there Monarch Butterflies in Michigan? The cards are just so perfectly crafted, I'm running out of grandiose expletives! Golly, I love those dies!
ReplyDeleteLOVE both of these, Michele, really beautiful use of patterned papers combined with the EH and W&W!
ReplyDeleteI love the way you've layered up and created such wonderful texture.
ReplyDeleteFantastic :)
I am just in awe of you Michele... How in the world do you A. Get so many cards made so quickly, B. Blog every day and C. Still have time for extra circulars, like growing a butterfly garden!!??!!? 😊😊
