First up: Merry Monday Christmas - Red & Gold! My FIRST time ever playing along ... why? I don't have a reason, but it is the Season!!!
I have this fabulous New York skyline that was just screaming for attention once again [thank you Barb G.] what do you think of this color combo? Yes. That certainly is brown cardstock! and gold foil, and a blended red sky! Yay! I blended!!
Edited to add this honor given on 11/9/15 =] Thank you!
Next: CASology Week 171: Vehicle
This is the day to be thankful for my friends! Hazel sent me this darling set of Vintage Auto stamps 'just because.' [thanks Hazel] This card is for my FIL who has a birthday coming in December ... he doesn't drive anymore, but loves to 'help' my MIL with hers =]
One more! for Freshly Made Sketches #211 ... I adore this sketch by Karren, and was the perfect place to use a few of my favorite Hero Arts supplies in a festive, holiday way:
Okay! That's it for me ... quite enough you'd probably say!
Have a fabulous weekend, my friends! Thanks for spending a few minutes of it with me!!!

And because I am here I must comment on your third card too...great use of the sketch, love the red background and then your other white leaves and flowers (silver embossed, of course!!) are stunning against the red! thank you for sharing all of them!!
ReplyDeleteWow love all of these but the one that tickled my fancy the most is that vintage car one I have a few people that I can think of that it would suit...inc me ,if I drove that is! x
ReplyDeleteAwesome, awesome, awesome!!! Love the skyline in the first one. Love the humour on the second one and love how CAS the last one is with that pop of red and the outlined flower.

ReplyDeleteLook at you go, three in a row today!! Love your pretty NY skyline and you blended perfectly!! The vintage card gave me a giggle!! My late FIL famous line when driving him somewhere was "Watch yourself! He would see a semi WAAAAAY down the road and say that ~ LOL!! You last card is just beautiful, love the big bloom!!

ReplyDeleteHeavens, these are stunning Michele! I just KNEW you would know what to do with those Vintage Autos (wink!). I am in love with your rich red NY skyline! Breathtaking!! It just makes me want to visit it again! And that bloom with the red circular centre. The composition on that is so perfect!! Love being inspired by your amazingness!! Thanks for sharing your talents again with us at CASology!!
ReplyDeleteA trio of fabulousness, Michele! Using brown instead of black on the first card is brilliant - it gives it so much more warmth. Your second card cracked me up. Love the sentiment and that little car is so cute! Love the pop of red on the last card and thank you for reminding me of that HA tower - I must go and dig mine out…
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous array of cards! You certainly nailed each one of the challenges with these! Thanks for sharing with us at Freshly Made Sketches.
ReplyDeleteThree amazing cards! The last is now my new favorite of yours. It's just....wow! I can't even think of words good enough to compliment it. PS How is it the 9th? Boy am I glad that I sent really early birthday wishes because you've now officially joined the "people I love and remember their birthdays every day for practically a month before their birthday, but then somehow I miss the actual day of their birthday" list. Only my very favorite people are on that list...truly. :) We kind of celebrate birthday weeks in my family....so I hope your birthday week continues to be fabulous!
ReplyDeleteAll three cards are great! Congrats on HM at CASology! Such a fun card:)!!
ReplyDeleteA trio of treats in one post, Michele ... and all so gorgeous! Dramatic skyline with awesome background, fun cars, and sheer elegance in that beautiful bloom ... you always delight, mon amie! Hugs, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteWow! Seriously stunning cards! That NYC skyline looks amazing, I love the gold foil trees in the foreground, so classy! And the simplicity and clean-ness of the other two, just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWOW... beautiful cards here!!!!
ReplyDeleteTrio of fabulous here! Yayy for the awesome blending on card one; perfect for that NY skyline! And the honours: only a zillion percent well deserved! Your vintage card: too funny! I, too, see no hills *grin* Your third: smitten with that lovely bloom and red background. So classy!
