Even from another hemisphere, playing cards is always fun when played with friends! When my friend Therese Calvird scheduled a ZOOM call you can believe I answered that call! In just 30 minutes, we had each chosen our preferred stencil and started inking it while chatting... is it any wonder we chose the same stencil?
You can SEE Therese bring her stenciling to life on her LIVE YouTube session here in the States today, Wednesday, May 22 at 6 pm EST ... I'll be happily answering questions and chatting with her guests in the background. Hope you can join us!
Until then, here's my finished card using Altenew's Blooming Delight stencils, and stamps:
This lovely 'sending' word is a two-part die set included in the Blooming Delight coordinating die set - the hugs are part of the stamp set that I've stamped in Altenew's Obsidian pigment ink onto a tiny little pierced circle - MFT very old!
There you go, Therese! I can't wait to see YOUR finished card and watch it come to life LIVE!

The partial die-cut flowers are gorgeous, Michele! I can only imagine how much fun you had crafting with Therese via Zoom. I also watched the archived video, and it was so much fun seeing you chat and comment with Therese and the other crafters. :-)
ReplyDeleteYou always have wonderful and creative ideas - the acetate for support and the embossed backing for dimension. The black strip and the black shadow of the sentiment adds a modern touch, and I love it!
