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

I'm completely overwhelmed with the beauty and the cuteness of this post. You had me at the pretty designer paper and the Alstromeria, so beautifully colored and crafted. Then as I scrolled down possibly the cutest bunny ever came into view! I was not familiar with Stamps of Life, but I am now. Utterly adorable, Michele!
Your FMS card is just gorgeous and you matched the colors perfectly! And what a clever idea to paper piece the debossed image! You’re so smart 😊
I love your mix of pretty and cute here today, Michele! That paper goes beautifully with the Alstroemeria bloom and that little bunny is too sweet for it's own good!
I just love the colors of your floral card....right up my alley! The shading is perfect! And that little bunny--how adorable!
Your floral card is so pretty and I love the colors you used on it. It looks great on the labels dies which you matched the colors really well. That bunny is adorable, teeth and all. :) I was surprised when you said you used Dad's hammer on the embossing folder. I had never heart of that, but it worked on your cute card.
What a sweet set of cards! Love that flowers! The colours are beautiful! Thanks for joining us this week at Freshly Made Sketches!
Unique and stylish, then sweet and fun -- these are two amazing cards, Michele!
Goodness, your floral card is just beautiful, Michele. It's elegant and a big vintage in the best way! The bunny is simply adorable! I'd steer clear if I saw you wielding that hammer. The effect you got is fabulous! Thank you so much for sharing! Happy creative weekend, my friend!
You have used this Alstroemeria embossed die cut beautifully, Michele! You have perfectly matched that beautiful paper! You know I love this toothy bunny! The pastel colors make this a fantastic Easter card!
That first is one very pretty card! Alstromeria are the best! Lovely watercoloring, Michele.
I really love that Alstroemeria die cut, and you hve colored it beautifully and matched the patterned paper beautifully. I love that your "rectangles" are rounded and graduate in size. Beautiful card. The bunny is just adorable. Love it when the hammer comes out.
