Today, I'm sharing the fun I had playing cards with Marcia Hill of Marcia's Stampin' Pad at my pad - you know Marcia, right? So sweet, kind, and generous with her praise - and there is no end to her talent, let me tell you!
Marcia happened to have a load of the MFT Pure Innocence kids to share! I love so much … I even grabbed a new one during the sale last week! [bet I don't have to tell you which one]
Here are Four Seasons of MFT:
Winter
Stamped on Bristol with Versafine Smoky Gray ink; water colored with Distress Ink
- and Stickled! Elegant Rectangle Stax
Spring
Stamped onto Bristol with Versafine Onyx black ink;
water colored with Distress inks. Elegant Rectangle Stax
Summer
Stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink, Copic colored
Winnie & Walter Audrey cutaways frame -
Dad's hammer, with embossing folder for interest!
Fall
Stamped onto MFT Cement Gray card stock, Prismacolor pencil colored, and
highlighted with Copic N3
[must confess this one was colored while I visited with Bobby!]
Well. did you guess? Here's a hint... we've bloomed 252 of them this year! There are even more kids to come, too - watch for another borrowed beauty on Thursday!
Thanks, my friend, for the fun we've had - and for the next day of playing cards we have to look forward to!!
Hope you have a great Monday, and exceptional week ahead! Let's go see what my friend Marcia has to share - I'm grabbing another cuppa, it's gonna be great ...

This is where I normally would link all the MFT products used... sadly, most PI's are no longer available … except for the Butterfly Kisses, and dies. Here are the Copics I used for her:
Your seasons of PI girls is just delightful Michele!! Each one is a gem in your signature CAS style and I'm loving them all!! I especially love the Fall gal that you colored with the Prismacolor pencils...such a cool look! Thanks again so much for sharing all your stamps with me...I've been having a blast coloring them all up! Stamping friends truly are the best!! Hugs my friend!! :0)
ReplyDeleteA whole year in one fell swoop. Marcia's not the only talented one in your duo, ya know. Wish I did people figures as well as you...I a tad envious. Your four seasons are all so beautiful and precious. Really like how you used different methods to bring them to life.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a blast! and I see that you have had the hammer out again lol. It's all those little details that have give your cards that little extra special something!
ReplyDeleteThese are all so cute, Michele. It amazes me how many cards you two completed. I still have that Fall one waiting to be on a card.
ReplyDeleteEach one of your cards is adorable, Michele! LOVE that you both did all four seasons with your cards. I can just see you inspiring each other and getting down to work ... with lots and lots of chatting and laughing. xx
ReplyDeleteAs I said to Marcia, OH...MY...GOODNESS!!! These are just as cute as they can be Michele. Love that little gal in her gray winter coat and hat. You colored that perfectly. I knew it was the sweet butterfly girl. And HOLY SMOKES to the number of bloomers. You two need a you tube channel or something, that's amazing!
ReplyDeleteI am so darn jealous of Marcia. I want to play cards too!! LOVE these adorable PI girls and your "seasons" idea. Your coloring is amazing. I think the butterfly girl is my favorite. I didn't get her but she was on my list.
ReplyDeleteThese are adorable...I must confess the fall one is my favorite, although I do love the loose watercoloring on the first one too! SWEET!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic bevy of beauties, Michele! I love how you've used a variety of coloring techniques. Each one of these cards is unique and so adorable!
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely set! The winter one is my favorite. Would you believe that I don't own any of the PI gals????
ReplyDeleteSuch sweetness!
ReplyDeleteOh my, what a fun and creative play day you girls had this past Summer:-) I love all 4 of your seasons, Michele and your beautiful CAS designs. Thank you so much for sharing. Hugs...off to check out Marcia's creations. Nancy
ReplyDeleteFabulous set of cards commemorating the seasons and your year of crafty friends.
ReplyDeleteFun, fun, fun! Love that you play cards and can share with us since we don't get to be there! They're all fabulous, and I guessed right!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely darling cards, Michele! Beautiful coloring and I love how you honored each season in such a special way!
ReplyDeleteThese are all so incredibly Ah-Dorable!! It looks like you and Marcia were quite productive amid all the chit-chat and giggles I'm sure must have gone on. Each of your little girls represent the seasons wonderfully! I adore the fall girl colored using pencils. Such a great look and why I never think to use my pencils is beyond me. I think it's wonderful that you guys can get together and play cards. <3
ReplyDeleteLook at all these cuties!
ReplyDeleteI love how you framed this sweet girl on your cards! And you are an amazing card player!
ReplyDeleteNo way!! 252 monarchs???
ReplyDeleteYour seasonal cards are a treat for the eyes and the heart. I bought that first BB gal. And then MFT discontinued her. Hoping to use it one day soon--she's just the sweetest. Just like you!
I am a huge FAN of PI girls and YOU! These cards are ADORABLE!!!!!!!!!! I love them all! I am glad I don't have to pick a favorite! Thanks for making me smile! XX
ReplyDeleteAmazing, Michele ... all those butterflies that are around making more butterflies for the future ... you and Tom should be so proud! Sweet cards ... you do wonders for that little girl, no matter the season or how she's attired! Hugs, Anita :)
