Just us Girls #688 - Photo Moodboard

It is photo/moodboard week at Just us Girls #688 - oh, is she a beauty...


Because of my love of hemstitched linens, that top-middle photo reached out to me today - but I had to add a little touch of that darling kitten that looks JUST LIKE our Hobbes!  I even made a slipcover for my sofa in a print much like this one!

Okay - you came for a card, and I have one for you...

Altenew: Virginia Rose 3D die - Spellbinders Hemstitched Squares
a little love you from ASD Sunkissed Memories

So, you'll have to tell me if you spotted my homage to Hobbes ... thanks, Lisa, for such a gorgeous photo to play with!

Another beauty Michele!! I love the soft pink background with the hemstitch die cutting...so unique and pretty on the angle! And that rose is GORGEOUS and I'm guessing the center is your homage to Hobbes? Lovely, lovely card my friend!! Hugs. :0)

Karen said...

So beautiful!!! I love those Hem-stitched Squares--and especially the way you used them for this delightful design!

What a great way to use those hemstitched dies. Love it. Great use of texture and colour too. Thanks for the explanation on the sticky mats yesterday too. Great inspiration, as always xx

This card speaks to me, it's simply dreamy! The layered hemstitched panels and those marvelous flowers were meant to be used togther. As far as Hobbes goes, I spy some little pointed cat ears in the center of the large bloom... but then again it might just be as easy as the love you sentiment! Thanks so much for playing along at Just Us Girls, Michele!

Oh, my! You've put your creativity to work here! I would have never thought to use the Hemstitch dies like that. Wow! Gorgeous flowers. I do see a little bit of Hobbes color there, too. This is stunning, Michele!

I love all the inspiration photos and I can see why you were drawn to the hemstitch and the sweet kitty on the sofa Michele. I got the one set of hemstitched dies, but you make me want more, like these. LOL Love, love, love this gorgeously stunning card! Hemstitch always is a simple, understated elegance, don't you think?! The flower is beautiful in the white/pink and green. Hum...is your homage to Hobbes the little "cat head/ears" in the center of the flower? Hugs, Brenda

Bonnie said...

What a gorgeous card, Michele! I am wowed by the way you've arranged your hemstitched napkins and that flower is so pretty! Love, love, love this!

TK said...

Wow, love the double-linen homage, beautiful flower and the golden tag, which I believe = Hobbes?

Beautiful CAS card design using the beautiful die cut flowers and especially LOVE your Hemstitch faux folded napkins design...so clever of you, Michele. I see cat's ears in your card too. TFS my friend. Love and Hugs...Nancy

Jeanne said...

Simply beautiful, Michele. Love how you were inspired. You have the perfect shade of blush! I'm guessing the center (color) and sentiment (sweet words) were your homage to Hobbes. Have a happy day!

Birgit said...

Another amazing design by Michele! I love how you angled the hemstitch dies. They're a favorite of mine too. The flowers are soft and feminine and the colorful nod to your sweet kitty is not overlooked. Beautifully done!

Nancy said...

I love everything you do Michele, but this card has moved way up the list. It is absolutely gorgeous! Your creative balance is always perfect! Thanks for joining us at Just Us Girls.

Jeanne H said...

I too think you card is absolutely gorgeous especially with the napkins using a die I have somewhere. Thanks for all you do and the inspiration.

Julia Aston said...

Your die cut looks just like a folded hemstitched linen - and those layered blooms are beautiful adorning it!

Carol said...

I too love hemstitched linens...and that is what made me gasp when I saw your gorgeous card! The florals are beautiful too, as are your colorway and layout! SO glad you joined us this week for our moodboard inspo challenge at JUGS!

Wow, this is so creative and beautiful, Michele! I LOve how you used the hemstitched die! Those napkins at an angle make a great backdrop for the roses. The center of the rose is your homage to Hobbes?

This might be my favorite thing you ever made if that is even possible. I just love the way you placed the hem stitch die cuts. The flowers are beautifully done and I love that sentiment tab.
