This 1st card is the only one that I think Michele and I did together using a PFS set that another sweet friend (Birgit) gifted me for my birthday called Heart of Gold.
Don't you just love that sweet little bluebird sitting in the lemon tree?! Used my Copics to color everything and then die cut and added to a Crimped Rectangle (The Greetery).
My next 3 cards are all Tulips...2 using Waffle Flowers Tulip Dies and one using Penny Black's Tulip Bloom Die.
More smooshing and a bit of ink blending on this tulip and the background is a retired SU! background stamp called En Francais. The frame is a larger one of the PB frame it set and the sentiment is from a embossing folder (I think it was Altenew) where after you emboss it, you can cut the sentiments into strips and then color them as you please. I just added some gray ink with a blender brush to match with the background.
My last card is a PB image called moon & back and I colored the images with my Copics and then die cut them before adding to a panel I die cut with the The Greetery's Postage Stamp Die and then added a stenciled circle lightly in yellow to mimic the moon.
So there you have it my friends...another fun playdate in the books! Make sure you check out Michele's post and see what she came up using lots of my goodies. And THANK YOU Michele for letting me play with all your fun and beautiful stamps and dies...I haven't had this much fun in a long, long time! Stamping friends truly are the best!!
Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!

ta daaaa! Every card a charmer, Marcia! I love that we both chose to make Birgit's bird a bluebird! I didn't even know you were smooshing the ink on those tulips - SO gorgeous - as are the wonderful sentiments. Now I can't wait to gather again so I can borrow that new PB tulip die! SO many cards - SO much to love! Thanks so much for a wonderful playdate [and the extra bowl of soup], my friend! xx

I'm so glad you two finally were able to get together, Marcia. You were overdue for a playday. And what beauties you have created from that play! Love, Love, Love the tulips and how beautiful the ink smooshing colors them! A darling bluebird sitting in the lemon tree and a sweet couple enjoying the moon. Crafting friends are the best!
Marcia, I'm thoroughly enchanted with all this spring beauty, including that sweet couple at the end. The ink smooshing gives you such an amazing watercolor look on the tulips and I love it! Beautiful designs, framing, sentiments, and that wonderful French Script background which I do have as well. The bird and lemon branch has completely stolen my heart. Lunch sounds sooooo good, too!
I always love to see what you two come up with when you share your 'stuff', Marcia. You ended up with some wonderful cards. The bluebird in the lemon tree is so sweet and all those tulips are a great sign that Spring is on its way. Your coloring really brought that darling couple to life.
What a wonderful array of beautiful cards! So glad you and Michele enjoyed some crafting time together once again. The ink smooshing on the tulips is lovely, as is that darling blue bird sitting in amongst the lemons. Your darling little couple looking up at the moon is so precious too! Looks like your day was as productive as it was fun.
