Playing Cards with Michele

I am so excited today to be Playing Cards with my good friend Michele Ferguson over on her blog I Card Everyone!



I had the pleasure of meeting Michele in November 2014 when she came to Toronto to visit and play cards with me, for both of our birthdays! Since then Michele and I have been close friends and we actually met once again for lunch in Toronto! I'm excited to have another chance to meet my funny and ever so talented friend once again. I hope that I'll be gifted once again with a jar of her homemade pepper jelly made from her very own garden!

 In honor of our own November birthdays, we are both using the following parameters...
  • Make a birthday card
  • Add flowers
  • Colored anyway you choose
  • But absolutely NO NUMBERS ALLOWED, because as Michele said to me we are all still only 29! lol


         
I used the Altenew Golden Days stencil set for my flower and I ink blended using all four layers of the stencil with Catherine Pooler inks--Do-Si-Do, Coral Cabana, Samba and a little Grass Skirt for the flower centre.


Once the ink was dry I cut the panel with the largest of the Lawn Fawn Large Stitched Rectangle dies. Then I splattered some Gansai Tambi Starry Colors watercolour on to the panel and then finished it off with a gold foiled sentiment from the Pink Fresh Perfect Sentiments Hot Foil die.
 

Now it's time to head over to visit Michele and I am sure she has something fabulous waiting for you to see!

Thank you Michele, it was so fun to play cards with you today!

Thanks for stopping by!

Oh, Tracey! I searched for this photo of us to no avail! Might be on my last hard drive! Can you believe that was 2014? What a wonderful dinner - and yet I don't even remember taking a bite!
Thank you so very much for accepting my invitation to Play during this busy time of year, my friend! And what a gorgeous flower you've chosen for your card - that one is STILL on my very long wish list! LOve the variety of reds, and who doesn't need a little bling on her birthday?
Love and big virtual hugs, sweet friend! We'll see each other for reals again one day - promise!

Hi, Tracey! Happy recent birthday! You actually don't look much over 29. I came from Michele's blog to see what you created, and it is surely gorgeous! Love that big flower in such a pretty color all splattered up with gold. I hope you get to meet up with Michele again soon.
