Freshly Made Sketches #646

The amazing Cecile has an extraordinarily darling Sketch for FMS#646!  She brought it to life in her very special way - me?  I'll just cross my fingers that she'll see her Sketch somewhere in my card! lol

My first mistake?  Not using a square card!  But I'm quite sure she won't be one bit mad about it!  

I had a new blue [Cerulean to be exact] from The Stamp Market and their previews of the September kit provided the inspiration for my card today...

have you seen it?  Be still my heart...

If our property tax bill wasn't staring me in the face, I'd be ALL over this kit!  But their little Bloomin' Cute dies did the trick IMHO!

I'm off to plant these posies in the gallery at Freshly Made Sketches - hope you're having a great day!

Second Helpings - Color Hues #40

 

I received a few new goodies from Doodlebugs today - since my Friday post was pre-scheduled, I decided I just couldn't wait to share!

Color Hues #40 to the rescue - they never turn down second helpings!

A little foiling with Pinkfresh Songbirds on Branches, followed by stencil-coloring using the coordinating stencils... [in blue and tan of course =] After stenciling,

I cut it with Wplus9's postage die set and mounted it on my card base.  I sure wish I could describe the foil - it's from an un-named variety pack and reminds me of mercury glass!

A sweet little hello from The Stamp Market's Sardine Greetings,

and my card is done!

Thanks for stopping in - I'd sure love it if Blogger would send all those sweet comments left here right to my email inbox.  But, if you leave a little kindness here, you can be sure I'll do my best to deliver some right back to you - thanks tons!

Thank you, Color Hues!
