Julie's EBE Scooter

I was thrilled to find Julie's darling Scooter in the Good Times set of stamps, and dies, from our June release … especially because it is Tom's pet-name for me - don't ask, because even HE doesn't know why!  lol

I came across this lovely patterned paper in my stash - undoubtedly it isn't available anymore [in other words: don't ask about THAT either!]  I fell in love with the colors and fun way they've colored the images … had to give it a go, stamped on a natural cardstock, colored with Copics [below]. 

 

warning:  for those CAS-loving crafters, these may not be your tasse de thê but it was so fun! and Frenchie loves it! [is it me, or does he look a bit intimidated by that little poodle?]



Another one? ... Oui! = wheeeeee!

I do hope you'll look at your supplies through a different lens … one never knows how you'll see them today!

LOVE how you built your cards with these patterned background papers! And, I'm bummed that the papers were from your stash because holy moly everything just meshes together so delightfully!

What joyful cards, Michele! Looks like you had so much fun with them and your playfulness and delight shines through. Thanks for sharing!

Ok, so now I have this uncontrollable urge to go through my paper tower and find papers that are as cool as these are. I'm pretty sure I have some fun ones in there (or at least with the thousands of sheets in that darn tower, I SHOULD have...lol). Never been much of a scooter stamp lover until seeing this one. It's adorable. And so is Frenchie and his snooty pootie! Great card in a great shape. Rockin' it. Hope there wasn't perfume in those boxes! Wouldn't it be fun to scoot around Paris and just shop?! That's what this card says to me. Maybe some day... Great cards today babe. Love 'em! xo Sending warmer weather across the Lake. Bev

What fun and a perfect way to use that designer paper! Love the sense of movement on the second card! At first I thought Frenchie was falling off, but I'm wondering if he's off to follow that poodle and make friends?

What's not to love about these little French dishes??? They are over the top adorable! I love the patterned papers you found in your stash and that poodles and scooter.... They are just perfect... oui!

conil said...

I'm with the Frenchies...love both these two, too. The colors are so frech and soothing. Think the Vespa must feel very at home on these card, as do the pups.

Ohhhh gosh, I LOVE these, Michele! What a fab inspo on using Copics in a different way..It scares me to try, but that's why I love it! A little bit of fear is good, right? Love both these papers AND your cute little name ;) Sending biggest hugs!

Sooooooo cool, Michele ... doesn't surprise me that you had these stunning stylish papers in your stash, they're gorgeous ... and they're so perfect with your soft colouring of that fabulous scooter on each card! A touch of French sophistication with your lovely humour, my friend ... les merveilles! Hugs, Anita :)

Love these, Michele! That is such cool paper and I adore your fun designs. The scooters and your impressionistic coloring create a perfect scene. Bet you and Frenchie would enjoy toddling around Paris!

Gosh! Your cards are perfect, but you're an even better enabler! You just MADE me go buy the scooter stamp set!!! Thanks, enjoying your cards while mine's enroute!

Every time you take your scooter out for a ride, I am so inspired, Michele! I may be a CAS fan, but I am really LOVING your cards today!!!
