Girls just wanna have fun [with Pigment Craft Co.] day!

My sweet friend Ivana from Pigment Craft Co. has been so quiet lately - I'm hoping all is well and she'll be back creating and producing more loveliness soon!  Here are two cards I made using her Winter Sprigs, Dashing Sentiments, and sweet little Latte Heart elements sets...


If you're wondering?  The background cover die is a perfect match from MFT
called Mistletoe Cover Up - no longer in the shop =[ 

Pretty Pink Posh makes the stencil I used on my circle - called Wafers!
The circle was created using a laminated piece of junk mail, and a circle die -
my daddy raised his baby girl to use her noggin!

Sending my love, sweet friend!  I miss you!

Oh how I hope Ivana sees your post, she'll love these! Two pretty cards. Way to use that noggin!

Oh I hope you hear from your friend, Michele. She is very talented, just like you! These cards are lovely. I'd be the one who asked about that background die, so thanks for saving me a bit of struggle looking for it. LOL That card is glorious. I really like the second one, too. Especially that you used junk mail to make your stencil. Wish my brain worked like yours sometimes. So smart and you have such a creative eye for card design. Love the use of the stencil in the background. Such pretty work! Happy weekend, my friend!

Two cards that make me think of Spring, Michele! I love the pop of color (and the blue-green and navy combo) over the texture of the background! You've done a fabulous job of inking and stenciling the circle and these leaves look so new and fresh in the Spring green and pink! I hope your friend in okay.

Beautifully done, I continue to be in awe!

Oooh, they're pretty, and the die on the first card is a perfect match! I have so many older retired things I use all the time (including me). Love all your sweet colors on both cards!

Great cards using that fun leaf and berry stamp, Michele.

Brenda said...

I'm hoping all is well with your friend too Michele! Your cards are gorgeous! Love the cover die you used on your first card, it goes so well with your die cut. Love the colors you chose for the stamped/die cut. Love the second card too, the colors are so pretty as well. Your Daddy taught you well, you must have gotten that good noggin from him! Hugs, Brenda

I hope your friend, Ivana, is well, Michele. She will surely appreciate your love and care for her when she sees your blogpost.
A perfect match of the MFT's cover die and the Pigment Craft Co. 's die, and the clever use of the Wafers stencil! Your dad raised his daughter to be creative and clever. ;-)

I love these both. I especially love when you can use things made for a specific season for a completely different one! Love that stenciling on the second one.
