I have two cards for you today, my friends ... the first on the 'pretty' side for Jen B. at Freshly Made Sketches #677 allowed me to use a bit of DSP from a very old stash of Anna Griffins's Olivia [2013] Collection of papers. But first here is Jen's sketch...
I reached for my PFS Essential Label dies and instead of three
equal labels, I made three graduating ones! It's hardly noticeable but I like it!
My friend Bonnie often enables a few of my purchases - this Alstroemeria bloom from SSS is an embossing folder and die combination. Cut first, then tuck it in place in the folder to emboss all that wonderful detail. I cut mine from watercolor card and used these inks to 'kind of' match the dsp... how'd I do?
The other day I shared a Shamrock shaped card with you... here's another cute little die from Stamps of Life in lots of pastels for Jaydee at The Paper Players #728! You'll notice I did NOT forget the lavender this time! wink. It's a fun die set and I used the 'piecing' die to create a 'template' for all those pieces to fit after blending each with color.
Dad's hammer came out for a bit of texture using an embossing folder
before adding my sentiment from WFC and this panel to a side-folding card.
Off I hop to pop these into the challenges... hope you're looking forward to the weekend! I'll be back tomorrow with another card for Penny Black Saturday Challenge and a reminder for The Flower Challenge... which reminds me! Have you played in both?? Some bunny would be very happy if you did!

Both of these are awesome Michele! Your bloom with the graduating sizes of rectangles is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!! The dsp and your beautifully colored bloom are just too pretty!! And the bunny card?? Well he totally has me smiling and it's those teeth! (Obviously never went to the orthodontist when he was young!) Sweet, sweet card and wonderful post my friend!! Hugs. :0)
You have matched the colours on the first card beautifully and the graduated labels work really well. Love it. Your little bunny is just so cute too xx
I've always been going to get that Alstroemeria and Bonnie even sent me a couple of cuts to use but I haven't done either. Shame on me. Yours colored to match the DSP is beautiful, Michele, and that bunny is just the cutest.
Michele that first card with the florals and shaped panels is just lovely but that bunny - ADORABLE! Those teeth!! A pastel masterpiece for sure. Thanks for sharing with us for a second go at our challenge over at The Paper Players this week!
Michelle, that bunny with his buck teeth just makes me smile and yes, I noticed the touches of lavender! Another fabulous card. So glad you joined us again at the Paper Players this week
