Life is back to normal this week - but I do miss my sidekick being home! I drowned my loneliness with a bit more playtime with those wonderful Honeysuckles from The Greetery!
I brought out 'grownup loving' colors today - a bit of curry is so pleasing to my eyes [and taste buds]!
Remember the brickwork I did on my first Honeysuckle card?
This darling Honeycomb Corners Die added the same charm to my tag - IMHO.
All the better to see more of my favorite Altenew debossing die, right?
First a closeup so you can see my little buzzy friend, and where I've used those 'leftover' bits of honeycomb AND another favorite debossing plate from Wplus9!
Those sweet little sentiments come from The Greetery's Market Basket Sentiments set. That little bee is Colorado Craft Co.'s Bee You. The wonderful linen twine is from my sweet friend LeAnne!
Those of you with the eyes of an eagle will notice my card is left a little off-balanced by that stem - I just couldn't bear to snip it off! lol
That's it for me today! Hope you find a little extra time to spend in your playrooms!

Good thing I know the way to your house...definitely going to have to borrow that set sometime! Both of your cards are absolutely BEAUTIFUL...the Honeysuckle, the debossed backgrounds, the twine, the leftover bits, the tags....I'm loving it all!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous cards! I am loving this beautiful honeysuckle image!
ReplyDeleteI planted a money tree, and now if it would just start producing, I'd have it made! My 'want' list is long...
Oh my! Lovely cards, Michele! Always admire your eye for design. Just beautiful.
ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful honeysuckle embellished cards, Michele. I love all your pretty colors, textures and layering. I am glad you kept the long stem on the 1st card, my friend. TFS your beauties. Love and Hugs...Nancy
ReplyDeleteOh my, there are no words to describe the wow I am feeling... just WOW! Both gorgeous. Colors are so incredible, as are the designs. Honeysuckle and hexagons... WOW!
ReplyDeleteTwo beautifully designed cards, Michele. Love the bright colors. I never thought I'd say that to you. :D
ReplyDeleteYour honeysuckle gets better and better, Michele! I LOVE these colors and the debossing adds wonderful detail without detracting from these gorgeous flowers! Love the little bee!
ReplyDeleteHello! Sorry I haven't been around but I have not missed seeing one of your beauties.. I'm loving the honeysuckle and the brick die cut you've been using. I hope you are enjoying summer and staying well...
ReplyDeleteFabulous card Michele and I am loving those grown up colors.
ReplyDeleteHad to stop by and see what all the buzz was about! Delightful cards and oh I love the colors!
ReplyDeleteOooh, those little bits you put to work on your second card are looking mighty good to my eyes! I love both cards. The honeysuckle is just so pretty. I love that Rich and I are retired together -- working around the house and garden, or lazing around, or picking up and going whenever. You did a good job consoling yourself!
ReplyDeleteThe honeycomb die is so cool!!! now I need to get it, lols
ReplyDeleteLovely color palette and designs, Michele.
Both are lovely Honeysuckles cards, Michele! The curry panels look great with the colors of the flowers and leaves. LOve the fresh and beautiful designs!
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a fun vacation with Tom!

Both cards are pretty special and such amazing colours (as usual) xx
ReplyDeleteOh Michele, both cards are beautiful. Just love your designs and colour choices. I just received my Greetery pkg yesterday, hope to get time to play this weekend!
ReplyDeleteI keep going back and forth between the two and still can't pick a favorite! They're both beautiful!
