Have I mentioned recently what a lucky girl I am? Today's cards are thanks to my friend, Michele, who is very generous with her Pinkfresh washi tape. I received a most lovely package from her and set to work play with very little delay.
Today it's all about the Anemones. I used every single piece on two cards, including the insides and one envelope. The Spellbinders Infinity Punch & Pierce Plate and Essential Stylish Ovals are some of my new favorite things, so I put them to play, too. The first card is on an Aspen green base, chosen to match the green leaves.
The photo below shows more of the golden shine. So pretty!
I switched colors for the next card, using a pretty lilac for the card base and dark blue for the sentiment. The flowers are popped up on both cards. There is more information in the recipe.
That's all for now. I'm sharing the bounty with another friend and looking forward to playing again. Thanks, Michele, and thank all of you for stopping in to visit!

Oh Leslie, I aDORE HOW you played with the washi pieces. Gorgeous cards.
ReplyDeleteI hope this isn't a duplicate...getting a blogger error. Oftentimes it posts anyway, but doen't appear to have this time. In anycase I love how you played with the washi gift...those are gorgeous cards.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this oval die cut and how you've fit the anemones to them! Two very different but both exquisite cards! Crafty friends are the best!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty cards with those stunning colours, what a great design x
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful pair of cards, Leslie! The oval Spellbinder die is so versatile and you have made the most of it with these beauties.
ReplyDeleteLove, Love, Love both your die cut oval backgrounds and how you finished your card fronts by adding the beautiful die cut Washi Tape flowers. I finished 7 card fronts with the beautiful Washi die cut flowers you shared with me, Leslie and still have 1 packet left. Michele was so generous with all the Gorgeous Pinkfresh die cut Washi Tape floral images and sentiments. I will be sharing in a few days:-) Isn't it wonderful to have crafty creative friends that share:-)
ReplyDeleteHigh of 97 today and now all the windows are open and fan moving, trying to cool off the house. It is 70 outside and 77 inside. Love and Hugs...Nancy
It was a small gift considering the kindness you send my way, Leslie! I love the colors you've drawn out of that washi tape - I think I used mine with navy once!
ReplyDeleteI'm home and can't wait until 9am! See you then!

ReplyDeleteWow, what wonderful things can be made from washi tape. Who knew, I will certainly be looking at it differently now. Your cards are beautiful and I love that background especially since I have that die.
