Playing cards with Shirley again!

I've had another day of play with Shirley Bampton, and her fun Bee's Knees products from Stamplorations ... you'll never guess which set I used for this split-four panel:


Here are the citrus-y colored inks - there's a hint...


Have you guessed yet?  Here it is:


Here are my four cards that I've stamped with just the solid stamps, then cut into four panels, and either embossed, or debossed, for some extra fun!





A few die cut sentiments, and these are ready to wrap as a notecard set!

Shirley has made a batch of her own citrus-y cards!  Let's head over to see them, shall we?  You'll also find her at Stamplorations today!

Thanks so much for dropping in!

Supplies:
Stamplorations Layered Citrus 
Cutplorations cover dies: Circles all Over, and Wonky Stitched Grid
Altenew Mod Squares, and Geo Steps embossing folders

Loved your pretty colors, embossed and debossed dry embossed backgrounds and die cut cover plates...Wow! I have this set too and the cover plates:-) I am so inspired. TFS my friend. I am off to check out Shirley's cards:-) Love and Hugs...Nancy

Those flowers look fabulous in the citrussy colours, Michele, and I love the embossed backgrounds. It’s been great fun stretching my stamps with you!

Seriously, Michele, you blow me away time and again. What a fabulous set of note cards and I didn't have an inkling you used a citrus set. But of course you used a citrus set. You have a fantastic eye! Your backgrounds take these to the next level. Thanks so much for sharing. :)

What a clever way to use this stamp set, Michele! I love those bright citrusy colors that are perfect cards for a note set!

Bobby said...

That set worked great for abstract flowers, Michele. And for the split-four technique. This is something I never would have thought of but you also did something similar with another set. I have a STAMPlorations gift certificate waiting to spend (and about to expire) and everything I want is out of stock. Maybe I need to rethink some images.

You are right, I would have never guessed you used fruit for this split-four panel! These turned out so dang cute, love the background embossing's too. You are such a clever girl, always thinking out of the box! Hugs, Brenda

I just love it when you create these split 4 panels. You always adorn them so well...dry embossing is so effective. This set is fresh and oh so pleasing to the eye.

What a fabulous set of split-four cards, Michele! You’re so clever to turn the fruit stamps into pretty flowers! Love the fun and bright colors and the background dry embossing & cover plate debossing! I especially love the Mod Squares embossed one.
