Hello my friends! Thanks for stopping by today! Last week it didn't seem like Spring had sprung quite yet here in Michigan - at least in my Neck o' the Mitten. But all it took was a long-awaited visit from my sweet friend Marcia to make it SEEM like it had finally arrived!
Marcia and I were back in my playroom after our long winter. She brought Yana's gorgeous Tulips and Daffodils Betterpress plates from Spellbinders with her - and was even kind enough to bring me a few foiled images since she knows that my Glimmer doesn't glow any longer. I took advantage of her coordinating stencils to color a few - and why wouldn't I? Take a peek... this first is one that is foiled...
All of the sentiments today are made using my
Spellbinders/Yana's BP Bouquet of Hugs or Always You Timeless Sentiments.
Here is another pressed in VersaFine Claire Morning Mist ink.
It might be my favorite of the two. I added a bit of watery sky using
Distress re-inkers in the color Salvaged Patina and popped on my BP'd
sentiment cut with one of those old - well-loved- PFS Label dies.
Next up - a gift from Marcia! A suite of products she loved so much
she bought it twice!! Knowing how much I love my butterflies it seemed quite
serendipitous to me! Thanks, my friend!
I planted and perched them inside SSS Scalloped Rectangle Frames.
While I was stenciling those tulips and daffodils, Marcia borrowed my Waffle Flower
Peony stencils. She started this one and gave up on it - I promptly took it out of
the recycle bin and finished it up... challenge met, my friend!
I'm more than happy with your purple peonies - all it took was a bit of pale lilac ink added to the background and over the top of what you had done.
IMHO it is surely deserving of this Penny Black frame!
Alright. Thanks so much for stopping by but I can't wait another second to see what Marcia has up her sleeve to share... let's goooo!

Wow, what an amazing playdate you had with Marcia! These florals are stunning! You did an amazing job with all of them!
Both of your Tulip & Daffodil cards are wonderful Michele...CAS perfection on both the foiled and the better pressed one! I hope this set comes back in stock soon so you can have the set at your house too!! Until then though, you know I'll always share! Your 3rd card with the Butterfly Garden is probably my favorite! I love how you used the scalloped arch dies and all the beautiful coloring (stenciling) you did on it...lovely, lovely card! OK, you got me on the last one! I should have known you'd fix it so it looked GORGEOUS!! I love how you put the light lilac in the background to balance everything out...sooooooooooooo pretty my friend! Thanks again for such a wonderful play day together...I so needed it!! Lots of hugs!! :0)
