A whole lotta toe-tapping goin' on!

My mail delivery person is taking her own sweet time today - and I am losing patience!  You see, I have an order being delivered with a handful of new-to-me Penny Black goodies!  I can hardly wait to get them inky!  SO, while I wait, I took a look at Jill's Sketch #7 over at PB&J and came up with a very pretty substitute or two.

First up - the fun Sketch:


I have to admit to not having anything even remotely like the darling
frame die Jill used here.  But I found an old Paper Smooches die
that had circles and scallops - it made me happy.

As far as the floral goes - it always makes me happy to use these
Waffle Flower Tulips!


The 'extra' greenery comes from The Stamp Market: Boho Botanical

My chosen inks for these pretty red tulips:


Now you know there's another, right?  TOTALLY different:
Yellow tulips - Altenew Leaf Frame and a few more pearls!



It was a gorgeous sunny blue-sky day today and this one really reflects my mood because of it!  Hope you had a great day, too!

And just like that, my package has hit the front porch - see you again soon!

Both of these are soooo pretty Michele and totally matched the sunshine outside! Your framing on both are perfect and you just can't go wrong with tulips...BEAUTIFUL!!
Also, thank you so much for the hugs card that arrived today...truly made my day and it's sitting on the entertainment center where I can enjoy it all day long! Today I actually feel like I might live after all and your card definitely helped! Thanks so much sweet friend!! Hugs. :0)

Amazing and beautiful! Love the fun frame on your first card but the tulips take these cards to the top of Mt Beautiful!

Well you were certainly productive while waiting for your new goodies to arrive! You have so many wonderful products to choose from to make gorgeous cards! Love both of these!! I'm sure you had a blast breaking into your new goodies!

Tulips wioll always and forever make me think of you. These are both gorgeous. I love the different ways you framed them out and, of course, your color choices!.

Two lovely floral cards, Michele! They sure did brighten my day!

Bonnie said...

I always love your tulips, Michele, and especially the Waffle Flower set. They are so pretty in red and just as lovely in yellow! Great takes on this sketch, my friend!

Beautifully framed flowers!!

Leslie Miller said...

Absolutely beautiful tulips in both red and yellow with their fabulous frames! I'm partial to yellow, and I love that leafy frame, but it so happens that red is another favorite and it is beautifully displayed against the soft background. You know I'm looking forward to more!

A bit of sunshine makes all the difference, and it helps with the photos too. These cards really make me feel like spring is just round the corner.....Patience - it will soon be here xx

Your tulips are gorgeous and so bright and cheerful. Love the colors and die cut frames you used on each one. Glad you got our PB package and look forward to seeing your lovely cards with them.

Bobby said...

That PS frame is every bit as good as the PB one for showing off your beautiful red tulips, Michele. The yellow ones are equally beautiful and that leaf frame is exquisite. I can't wait to see what goodies you got from PB and what you do with them.

Those tulips will be popping up before you know it my friend! But in the mean time, your coloured beauties are enough to brighten my day, with or without the mail delivery lol.

These two beauties brought a ray of sunshine into this gloomy Greek morning both are stunning,coloured to perfection and both set within those gorgeous frames. Thank you for bringing such cheeriness into an otherwise miserable day.

Love your framed masterpieces and the extra leaves you added rounded off the card perfectly!

I definitely stalk my mail person too. I sign up for delivery texts but I still peek out the window to the mailboxes every chance I get! I love your "substitute" tulips. They are so pretty intertwined with the frames!
