My sweet friend Ivana from Pigment Craft Co. has been so quiet lately - I'm hoping all is well and she'll be back creating and producing more loveliness soon! Here are two cards I made using her Winter Sprigs, Dashing Sentiments, and sweet little Latte Heart elements sets...
If you're wondering? The background cover die is a perfect match from MFT
called Mistletoe Cover Up - no longer in the shop =[
The circle was created using a laminated piece of junk mail, and a circle die -
my daddy raised his baby girl to use her noggin!
Sending my love, sweet friend! I miss you!

Purty....especially the BLUE one! (Gasp!) But really, they're both beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards, Michele!!! I especially LOVE the blue one! Those colors are so gorgeous and that cover panel in the background is so perfect!!!!
ReplyDeleteBoth these are really very pretty. I love how you have done the backgrounds xx
ReplyDeleteOh how I hope Ivana sees your post, she'll love these! Two pretty cards. Way to use that noggin!
ReplyDeleteOh I hope you hear from your friend, Michele. She is very talented, just like you! These cards are lovely. I'd be the one who asked about that background die, so thanks for saving me a bit of struggle looking for it. LOL That card is glorious. I really like the second one, too. Especially that you used junk mail to make your stencil. Wish my brain worked like yours sometimes. So smart and you have such a creative eye for card design. Love the use of the stencil in the background. Such pretty work! Happy weekend, my friend!
ReplyDeleteSo love the softness of these cards... I hope your friend is well.
ReplyDeleteTwo beauties, and the colors are just fantastic! Wow these are really pretty cards, Michele. sure do hope she seems them!
ReplyDeleteThese are both so pretty Michele, and yes, that background cover plate die works beautifully with the Stamp Market set!! Loving your color combos too!! CAS and lovely, lovely cards my friend!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteHoping Ivana is well, too. Surely, she'll enjoy seeing these products used so masterfully. Love that you combined other things in your stash to create these stunning cards.
ReplyDeleteLoving your colour choices here Michele, they make my heart happy!
ReplyDeleteLove your CAS design and use of die cuts on your Beautiful cards, Michele. TFS my friend. Love and Hugs...Nancy
ReplyDeleteGreat eye catching designs Michele and love how you've used the sprigs x. Hope your friend Ivana is well? x.
ReplyDeleteTwo cards that make me think of Spring, Michele! I love the pop of color (and the blue-green and navy combo) over the texture of the background! You've done a fabulous job of inking and stenciling the circle and these leaves look so new and fresh in the Spring green and pink! I hope your friend in okay.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully done, I continue to be in awe!
ReplyDeleteOooh, they're pretty, and the die on the first card is a perfect match! I have so many older retired things I use all the time (including me). Love all your sweet colors on both cards!
ReplyDeleteGreat cards using that fun leaf and berry stamp, Michele.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping all is well with your friend too Michele! Your cards are gorgeous! Love the cover die you used on your first card, it goes so well with your die cut. Love the colors you chose for the stamped/die cut. Love the second card too, the colors are so pretty as well. Your Daddy taught you well, you must have gotten that good noggin from him! Hugs, Brenda
ReplyDeleteI hope your friend, Ivana, is well, Michele. She will surely appreciate your love and care for her when she sees your blogpost.
ReplyDeleteA perfect match of the MFT's cover die and the Pigment Craft Co. 's die, and the clever use of the Wafers stencil! Your dad raised his daughter to be creative and clever. ;-)

I love these both. I especially love when you can use things made for a specific season for a completely different one! Love that stenciling on the second one.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty!!! I can't even choose a fav.
