Angela made me make it!

PinkFresh Studio sponsors a fun hour on YouTube hosted by Mr. Jeff Lindberg - it doesn't happen every Saturday, but oh you don't want to miss even one!  Jeff is joined by some of the most wonderful crafters in our blog-o-sphere!   You can find the replay here!   

Last weekend Angela Simpson was Jeff's guest - a fabulous card-maker who guest designs for many of our favorite companies and shares her work on Instagram @mycraftyperspective, and her blog: My Fresh Perspective 

Okay, you came here for a card, right??  Here is my playful take on Angela's card:

PinkFresh Studio: Garden Roses stamped on vellum and white heat embossed;
Braided Oval cut from Neenah #110 Solar White - I used another oval, 
from Spellbinder, to cut out the center.  A few green enamel dots from Altenew.
All stripes are cut from The Stamp Market card stock using my paper trimmer.
The greeting is also from The Stamp Market, silver embossed.

I know you're dying to see Angela's card, so I'll just say thanks for stopping by, and send you on your way to YouTube where you'll see Angela's card, and one from Mr. Jeff, too!

I've heard of the craft hour, but I've never watched an episode. I might have to do that. Your card is so pretty, Michele. I really like the vellum flowers and how the stripes peek through. That frame is beautiful, too. Thanks for sharing!

Saw Angela's session with Jeff on You Tube...she's got a boatload of talent for this hobby of hours. Think you matched her in talent, Miss Michele. This was a bit of stretched for you and you pulled it off beautifully.

Whirly frame, and bright/bold colors definitely make a playful card. Love the stark contrast of bold colors and soft heat embossed vellum

Oh I am so far behind in my visits - or at least in letting you know I have visited! This is such a gorgeous card. I love the colorful straps inside that glorious oval. Love the heat embossed flowers and sentiment and the way you've combined all of these things. Just wonderful1
