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.

Your sweet and thoughtful comments warm my heart!
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!
ReplyDeletePinkfresh 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.
ReplyDeleteAwesome playdate, and awesome results! This is just gorgeous! You both knocked it out of the park!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty. Love your arrangement of the leaves and cute blue birds. The embossed stripe looks great.
ReplyDeleteHow 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.
ReplyDeleteBirds, 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

ReplyDeleteComing 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.

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.
ReplyDeleteBonnie, it sounds like you had a fun playdate with Michele! I'm envious!! :-)
ReplyDeleteYour blue birds are so pretty, and the flowers and leaves look amazing with the shiny foiled outlines!
