Any day is a good day for visiting my friend Marcia - we took our weatherman at his word and planned the only sunny day of last week to get together! Man am I glad we did - [pardon my French] it all went to hell in a hand basket the day after!
Enough about the weather - I have SO much to share today and I know Marcia will, too - so let's get into it!
First up - I'm giving you all the bird[s]! The darling PTI Feathered Friends mini 19 to be exact...
Here perched on a 'wire' over Marcia's new Altenew Book Cover Engravings 3D folder.
The little sentiment is another from Pinkfresh's Favorite Things to Say set.
Here's another Altenew 3D called Waffled Diamonds... aren't they amazing??
Speaking of...What's not amazing about a bird on a trapeze???
Altenew makes the Speech Bubbles sentiments and dies.
The Stamp Market's Lovely Labels dies were a steal in their retired list at Christmas time.
Then I got all crazy with color and created this next little chick - her name must be Lola!
she could be a showgirl!!
Recognize this old Wplus9 set? Happy Birds may have flown their coop,
but they'll never leave my nest. A little happy yellow Bitty Big plaid from PTI for my mat.
Next up - I got my hands on Pinkfresh Studio's mini butterflies dies and stencils - but the hot foil plate continues to elude me - Marcia to the rescue, again!! She even introduced me to a gorgeous new-to-me Glimmer foil color. Too bad the prismatic colors are impossible to capture well by camera! That one on the left says it all...
Hey! the background was something new I brought to the craft table!!
Marcia had first dibs with my Pinkfresh Folk Art Print stencils.
I got inky with it at home.
Isn't it pretty with those butterflies?? The sentiment is one from a set
Marcia received from the first Pinkfresh Studio virtual Retreat.
I'm sending this one over to the March 2022 Pinkfresh Studio monthly challenge.
It's supposed to be about frames - but I think the combination of that circle die from their Mini Slimline Bundle, and their butterflies 'frame' my sentiment perfectly!
Last but not least is this gorgeous Sketchbook Roses from The Greetery... you'll see them again soon! But I HAD TO share this wonderful orange and grey beauty with you today...
Pinkfresh Studios - Stitched Scalloped Rectangles, and silver baubles
Catherine Pooler: twilight, Bellini, and mandarin spice inks
The Greetery - Pretty Postmarks peeking out from under their roses
Marcia, YOU do indeed make my life more beautiful! Thanks so much for letting me come play cards, for the yummy lunch, and all the goodies I got to bring home with me! I think together we couldn't want for another thing - but let's face it, I can't wait to share the next addition, and the next... you get the picture!
Thanks, my friends for hanging in there with me! See you next time! But I can't wait another second to see how Marcia put all her creations together into card - let's go!
