Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
Last week I Facetimed with my friend Michele.
It was so much fun to chat and create with a friend!
Since we both have this Songbird Hot Foil Plate, Stencils & Dies, we decided
we would spend our playtime with them.
We had done the foiling ahead of time and pulled out the stencils and inks.
I've got to say that it's the first time I was really happy with using the layered stencils!
When they were all colored, we die cut and arranged them on card fronts.
I embossed my background with the Pinkfresh Slim Stripes Dies because
they're asking for stripes or gradients in the background. I also tried to use the colors
they were asking for as close as I could get them.
I think this is the first time I've crafted with a friend and actually completed a card!
Michele you are such a good influence and so much fun to chat and craft with!
I can't wait for you to see what she did with her birds.
I used the colors and stripes for the Pinkfresh Studio September Challenge.

Bonnie, it was a really fun creative time, and I can't wait to do it again! Although we did 'show and tell' our cards that day, it is wonderful to have this 'up close' view where I can see all the color you added to your leaves, and I love the embossed stripes even more!
Pinkfresh would be crazy not to love it just as much as I do!
Whose product will we use next?? xx

Bonnie... love how you added the foil...just beautiful. Very different result from Michele.
Awesome playdate, and awesome results! This is just gorgeous! You both knocked it out of the park!
So pretty. Love your arrangement of the leaves and cute blue birds. The embossed stripe looks great.
How fun that must have been to Facetime and create. Your card is stunning, Bonnie. I can't believe you haven't been happy with stenciling. The colors are beautiful and blended well. I'm wishing I had this set.
Birds, leaves and a touch of gold... these are all favourites of mine Bonnie, so it's no wonder I am absolutely in love with this card! Vicky x
AWESOME card Bonnie and your blending is beautiful!! I'm really loving all the subtle stripes in the background too! It's always so much fun to craft with a friend and I'm glad you and Michele were able to do it together!! Hugs. :0)
Bonnie so fun that you got to play with Michele, she is such a fun playdate! The gold foiling is so wonderful and I love the delicate gold foiled sentiment on vellum!
WOW! What a spectacular card, Bonnie. The foiling really makes it special! Love the wonderful colors you chose too and how fun to craft with a friend! This card is gorgeous!
Coming by via Michele's blog to see what you have done with this gorgeous set. WOW, that is really all I have to say. I am trying so hard to refrain from foiling and then I see something this beautiful and it makes it that much harder. Awesome card, Bonnie!! I have never finished a card while crafting virtually...the talking gets in the way.
The coloring of the birds is so beautiful! I would never guess you used a stencil. This is a fabulous card!
I can tell you had a great time with Michele, she’s fab. Your cards colors are wonderful - love he colorful birds among those gorgeous leaves.
Michele IS a fun play date! I love the elegance the gold adds to your card, Bonnie! Your blue birds and pink blooms are marvelous. This is such a beautiful card!
Amazing foil plate, beautiful card, and I can tell the fun you two had -- fantastic!
Beautiful, beautiful card!
I just love to see how different the results are from the same products. Your card is gorgeous, Bonnie. I love the striped background and your stenciling is wonderfully done. I love the gold sentiment.
Oh, how lovely!! Beautiful birds in the trees with wonderful color! Such a beautiful anniversary card!
Oh my goodness Bonnie, this is stunning! I adore the sweet color palette with the gold touches and darling birds. This is over the top, beautiful!
This is so pretty, such amazing foiling and colours and so different from Michele's. They are both fabulous. I couldn't choose between them. What a great session you must have had together xx
How fun to craft with a friend over FaceTime! Beautiful card. Super job using the stencils to colour.
The foiled and coloured flowers, leaves and birds are gorgeous Bonnie, and the embossed stripes using dies to impress the background look beautiful too. x
This is such an unusual Bonnie card. These birds look so amazing and I love the soft coloring. The golden outlines make the card incredibly elegant. I love this card that is memorable and will not let you forget about it.

This looks like a challenge winner to me, Bonnie! It's sooo gorgeous! Of course, I'm especially fond of birds and leafy things. Add some gold and other colors on top of white and my little heart just melts.
Bonnie, it sounds like you had a fun playdate with Michele! I'm envious!! :-)
Your blue birds are so pretty, and the flowers and leaves look amazing with the shiny foiled outlines!

Gorgeous coloring with Fall colors on your beautiful die cut leaves and birds images and love your detailed white background for added texture that does not take away from your beautiful main images. TFS Bonnie. Love and Hugs..Nancy
