Have any of you admired a set but for some unknown reason just resisted buying it? I don't have any reason at all for resisting this Meadow Reflections set from Altenew - it's wonderful!
Tom joined his fellow astrophotographers at our observatory Saturday evening, so I quickly turned my attention to the package that arrived in the mail that morning!
Here are my first stampings - on Altenew Reflections patterned paper that was given some texture with dry embossing after stamping ...
A beautiful sky and the idea of a pond where this little butterfly
might rest for a few on this lovely bamboo! I've stamped right on the
dsp with Concord & 9th's Parsley ink, then shadows of The Stamp Market's Greenery.
We planted Siberian blue iris around our pond at our last home - I wonder if it's still there.
This gorgeous blue is Catherine Pooler's Queen for a Day and next in
CP Black Jack ink...
What is still present in our lives is our love for butterflies, and each other!
Happy anniversary, babe! 29 years have sure fluttered by!
All of the sentiments today are from a great little set from Waffle Flower Crafts - Label Maker Sentiments.
Okay, I guess I don't get a day off from laundry - off I go... have a great day!

Beautiful cards! Loving the bamboo stalks! And Happy Anniversary!
I'm glad you gave in and got this stamp, Michele! I think you'll be using it a lot and you sure gave it a good workout with these three fabulous cards! Happy Anniversary to you both.
Oh so beautiful Michele, and YES, I've certainly done that with stamp sets before... although I do have enough to keep me busy lol. ps I think these are my fave Altenew butterflies, I often just stamp them out in black and white!
Such beauties, Michele, you used your new stamp marvelously! Love the colors, the colored backgrounds, especially the zig zag 😁 THOUGH they're all beautiful!
Oh! P.S. Happy Anniversary to you both!!!
Each one is as lovely as the next, Michele! Wishing you and Tom a very happy anniversary! The card you made for him is my favorite!
I like the combination of silhouette and outline stamps on your beautiful background papers! The colors are very peaceful.
Gorgeous cards that are elegant and serene. Happy Anniversary! No small feat in these times. Looks like you both are winners!
All 3 of these are beauties Michele, so it must have been a sign that you were meant to have this stamp set! All 3 are such calming cards and reflect so much serenity...LOVE them all! And a very Happy Anniversary to you and Tom!! Hugs. :0)
What a beautiful set that you absolutely did need, and the paper is divine! They are a lovely pairing, and just look what quick cards. Happy anniversary to you & Tom!
That paper made such wonderful backgrounds for your silhouettes of many colors, Michele. Happy Anniversary!
Beautiful cards, Michele.
The paper is fabulous and what you have done with it is ever more so. I hope you and Tom had a lovely celebration. Time surely does fly by...
These three cards are all beautiful and serene, Michele! The patterned paper backgrounds with some texture look wonderful! I thought you watercolored them.
Wishing you and Tom a belated happy anniversary!
