Sending love on Valentine's Day!

Helloooo everyone!  I haven't found my crafty energy quite yet but am feeling really well.  Winter has been fierce - a time I love to bury myself in series on Netflix and also curled up with a good book!

I recently shared this card using one of the goodies I won on IG from Waffle Flower Crafts... of course I had to have both of their Peony Collage stencil sets!  This time I drew inspiration from Galina and her gorgeous colors - you'll find hers among the photo examples shared on the WF website.  I switched the colors around but I'm sure you'll see how I was influenced.


The white scalloped panel was cut using an old Winnie & Walter favorite I will
forever keep in my stash!


I found the cutest little Altenew enamel heart that is the perfect fit!
Can you find it?
I found just the right stamps and sentiments in their Postage Collage - Love set.


I'm so happy to share a card with you today!
Thanks so much!

  4. Love it and that sweet little enamel heart! I need more variety of the postage collages, but I just haven't done it yet -- maybe between you and Marcia I'll just make the plunge. Very pretty colors, Michele

  7. So glad to see you here today. Curious to know what you are watching! About your card - it is seriously gorgeous, fabulous... all the wonderful words in Webster's. The black background and intense colors are just stunning. What a wonderful project.

  8. Nothing like a beautifully colored card to chase the winter blues away, Michele. The bright flowers look even brighter with the black borders and I think I have some of those hearts.

  9. I would buy a year's worth of these stamps, Michele! This card is so dramatic and I wish the post office could make stamps just like this! So classy! (Your card not the PO)

  11. I can see how you were inspired by Galina's card and made it all your own--right down to that little heart! Prettiest postage ever!

  12. This might be my favorite card ever using Waffle Flower postage products! I love the bright colors with the black and white borders! Sings Spring to me, although that seems miles away at the moment.

  14. So bright and cheerful. Love your card Michele. All those lovely peonies make for a happy card. Love the cute Altenew enamel heart and it does fit perfectly in that spot. I happened to use some of their enamel hearts on my card today also.
