My sweet friend Marcia has brought my relationship with blue a little closer - perhaps it's the fact that we're to combine it with turquoise? It worked beautifully for a stencil from Altenew... and gave me just the right time to bring out that gorgeous Alex Syberia Designs Spring Garden set again...
I don't mind paying a little more for a set of dies that cuts every. single. sentiment in the set!
I found all of the components of this set at a Michigan store - Paper & I
Altenew: Impressionist Bouquet stencil and dies is half-off at Doodlebugs right now!
Okay, I think I've hit my limit for this challenge - but you should definitely play along!! Marcia and her teammates have oodles of inspiration for you HERE!

There is that fabulous EF again. I swear it really looks like inking...such a fabulous play with the light. A colored base really makes those blooms pop.
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous study in blue and turquoise! Love that rich navy background to set off the soft flowers. You sent me on quite a little look around with your links. The shop in Michigan is a dream. I soooo miss our local papercraft store that shut down a few years ago.
ReplyDeleteYou have done it again. I turn my back for what seems like 5 minutes and it feels like I have a whole months worth of cards. What a show case. Too much to catch up on to visit each individually, but rest assured they have all been individually appreciated xx
ReplyDeleteOh so pretty Michele, loving the dark background, it truly adds extra elegance to an already elegant design!
ReplyDeleteI love how these flowers play off that gorgeous dark blue background! You are embracing the blue beautifully, my friend!
ReplyDeleteYes, she has! I even spy some pretty blues hanging out behind your fabulous card! I like the deep blue background with the artsy flowers. Another beauty, my friend!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, beautiful, and more beautiful! The colors, the sentiment, the embossing - great card, Michele
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely amazing!
ReplyDeleteFirst off, thanks so much for making my color choices SHINE with a 3rd card in our gallery Michele! I'm so glad we're both coming to appreciate the blue family a bit more these days!! And your card is FABULOUS!! I just LOVE that impressionistic look the stenciling gives on these florals, and they just totally POP against that dark blue embossed background! Another lovely, lovely card my friend! Thanks so much for sharing again with us at The color Hues Challenge! Hugs. :0)

ReplyDeleteTotally gorgeous!!! Love these colors so much!!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on those sentiment dies, Michele. When were you in Marshall? I've seen that store advertised and was curious about it. That blue embossed background really makes the stenciled flowers stand out and they are lovely.
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty color combo and stunning cards! I just looked back to see your other post as well and the flowers in these colors are a reason to smile. ;0) Gorgeous cards my friend!
ReplyDeleteLook at you go, and you are back again with a third card I see. Your card is just stunning, Michele! That sentiment is something that we all could use as a reminder once in a while. Awesome job! Thanks for your love for this color combo at Color Hues, it certainly is a pretty one! Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure not sorry that you gave the blues another whirl, Michele! I will be looking up the store and those stamps. They are gorgeous and the colors you chose are fabulous shades of our hues. This looks like a winner to me! Thanks for joining our challenge at Color Hues!
