OH I'm sorry to barge into your weekend-eve again, but if I don't post this today, I'll forget in the 3 days I have until the window to Altenew's February 2021 Inspiration Challenge closes! Here is their fabulous inspiration...
Lucky those that had the Altenew Birds of Paradise stamps - pity one of them wasn't me... here is my substitute...
I was so pleased, I forgot the sentiment! The inside will cover the error of my ways!
Okay, I promise you won't see me in your inbox until next week!!

You 'survived' well without the BOP stamp set my friend, your card is bold and brilliant! LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful take on the color challenge. Who needs a Bird of Paradise when you have the brilliant brain of Michele? Crushin' on the texture and and that frame you diecut. WOW!
ReplyDeleteBEAUTIFUL!!!
ReplyDeleteWOW...absolutely GORGEOUS my friend!! Love, LOVE that background cover plate, and all that luscious deep green with the pop of lavender and yellow...BEAUTIFUL!! Have a great weekend!! :0)
ReplyDeleteWowee, Michele, this is striking! Your layers all flow together perfectly. No sentiment needed, it speaks volumes all on it's own!
ReplyDeleteToo awesome!! Love all the bold colors!
ReplyDeleteYour card is gorgeous Michele.. I don't think you needed the BOP stampset. Your card looks perfect. Until you pointed out about the missing sentiment I couldn't even notice because the whole card is mesmerizing ❤️
ReplyDeleteLove that coverplate.
ReplyDeleteUm, I don't mind a bit when you show up with your fantastic cards. I think you outdid yourself here stamp or no stamp. Your creativity is shining bright!
ReplyDeleteI for one enjoy seeing you in my inbox, Michele! I love the drama of the green on green background! The frame and lavender really pop on it! I predict a winner here!
ReplyDeleteNo apologies needed! Love it, Michele, the deep rich colors, texture and elements are perfect
ReplyDeleteFab colour combo and a gorgeous make. Love how you created that frame, Jo x
ReplyDeleteLove that green background colour, so clever to add interest with the debossed panel on top of another the same colour. Love it xx
ReplyDeleteWow, I can only imagine if you had had the Altenew Birds of Paradise stamps! But you didn't need them as your card is amazing and a perfect substitute! I love the green on green background, the embossing is perfect to break it up and give some visual texture. Love your sweet frame and those beautiful blooms. They just pop right off the card! Lovely my sweet friend! Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteWow, a wonderful interpretation of the Birds of Paradise picture, Michele! You're ingenious to use a part of the apothecary label (frame) and the lavenders! Love the shade of the green and the pierced texture of the front panel!

Rich and bold, Michele ... and delicate at the same time. Such lovely lavender sprigs ... and you know how much I love lavender ... a gorgeous stand-in! Hugs, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteYou can pop into my inbox anytime you want Michele .... I love seeing you creativity x. What a rich and gorgeous card. The pinpoint layer looks so classy and what a fabulous take on the challenge photo...love it Michele x.
ReplyDeleteThat green is gorgeous, Michele, and I actually prefer the lilacs, (or are they lavender?) to the Bird of Paradise.
ReplyDeleteIt is all about those fabulous cover dies that you have - beautifully sets off your design!
ReplyDeleteOnly you could make a dark green card look so elegant and so beautiful! Love it!
ReplyDeleteNo need to apologize for another post, Michele...especially when you're featuring one of your gorgeous debossed panels! Another really gorgeous card, my friend!!! xx
ReplyDeleteGorgeous! I just bought this cover plate and it provides a wonderful backdrop to your beautiful flowers.
