I have a new set of press plates for my Betterpress - they were begging for ink and Cosmic Blue and Saffron Bettterpress inks just seemed like a perfect fit for these Spellbinders Flower Stems!
You saw a little sneak peek of these on that FMS card that missed the party on Tuesday. Here are a few more for Jen T's sketch at Freshly Made Sketches this week!
It was tricky, but I managed to make it a square card! Can you see
that little scripty bit of yellow on the square postage stamp? It's
from The Greetery's Pretty Postmarks set - then came another Little Message
from Spellbinders and my card was complete.
There are three floral plates and two leaf plates and coordinating dies in this set! It was hard to resist at least ONE of their new Copperplate Everyday Sentiments from Paul Antonio! Thank you seems like a good place to start!
An older postage cover die from Wplus9.
Then they all came to play for a look of designer paper?
Waffle Flowers' Postage die again - cut apart, of course - that little
blue 'postage stamp' and yellow heart are also from that old Wplus9 set.
Last one...
Altenew's Fancy Thanks, and just in case you missed it... here's the finishing touch! I'd give anything to find these darling little metal embellishments again!
Okay. Let me get that card over to FMS631 before I miss the boat again!
Thanks for the visit - hope you are having a fun crafty week of your own!

ReplyDeleteOh my, how pretty are these! You do an outstanding job with your letterpress. And your card designing. So wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThese are all so beautiful, but I think the last one is my favorite! Nother prettier than blue and white together! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteI haven't gotten on to the BetterPress bandwagon yet, but you're making it very hard. These are all beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThese are so pretty in the colored ink, Michele! I love the CAS of the first card and how that stamping behind the flower adds a special detail! The elegant Thank You is a perfect accompaniment to the pretty flower! The stamped background is so pretty in the blue and white and I love how the yellow sprig and heart on the stacked dies dresses it up beautifully!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful!!! I love your cards and colors chosen. These two do not come in same set; did you buy individually or sets?
ReplyDeleteOh, yes, they're all very pretty! I love the color combo. The first card works great with the sketch. The corner accents and big thanks die look wonderful on the last card. A classic beauty!
ReplyDeleteI too love your cards. I love blue and you showcased the stamps and colors wonderfully.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards with this color combo. Love them all.
