Fab cards Michelle! You blew me away with the first one.. the pattern paper flowers paired with the stripes. That is brilliant and gorgeous all at the same time! You have a wonderful way of making layered cards look so clean.. the fortune cookies is a great example.. lots going on with the sentiments and cookies and patterned background (with the gold twine!!) but it looks so clean! I need to case that! The Ninja's are amazing in white and love that little tag with the twine bow on the last!

Fantastic cards! Your use of the stripes and flowers on the first one is beautiful. I really like how you colored the girls. The fortune cookie card is a fun use of the papers. I like how you used the gold thread. The girl on the third card makes me smile. She's sweet and I like how you made her star of the show. The ninjas are a lot of fun, too. You have a great eye for design!

OH MY....a fabulous foursome of amazing creations. Just love your sweet fortune cookie, so creative and clever! Your sweet geisha is just beautiful on that patterned paper. Your first card is my favorite, love those bright and beautiful colors and those flowers are so amazing!

Michelle your cards are so fabulous. That very first card, the one you have our the 12 Kits blog is uber amazing. The colours and the way you fussy cut the flowers to create just a stunning card. The fortune cookies look great on that patterned paper! I always like to see how you interpret the kits each month, such a treat!

Four fabulous cards here Michelle! I too, am loving the vibrant colors and mix of patterns on the first card. It really is an eye pleaser! What a great use of all those fun fortune cookies too, lined up perfectly and yet they allow the printed papers to be a focal point too. The white ninja's are super cute paired with the colorful stripes and I adore your little geisha girl on that patterned paper accented with the sweet tag. A great use of Jeanne's fun kit!

Loved that first card when I first saw in on the 12 Kits blog--so awesome! You combined papers so perfectly and the colors are so eye-catching. You even fussy cut those flowers! Great paper combo on your fabulous design with the fortune cookies too. The Ninjas done in white are such fun with the bold stripes and I love the tiny tags you added with the last little geisha girl.

I think I'm echoing everyone before me by saying that gorgeous stripe and flower combination is brilliant! I just adore those brightly colored girls that complete the look! I love each one of your card designs and how you've highlighted the focal images with the design paper - truly amazing!

FABULOUS cards Michelle!! I was drawn right away to the two that used the striped DSP and I was thinking why didn't I get that in my kit...until I realized I was so in love with the opposite side with the koi that I didn't notice the stripes! I love how you paired the stripes with the florals in your 1st card...really wish I hadn't used all that DSP now! But anyway, FUN and FABULOUS cards Michelle!! :0)

Lisa Elton said...

Fussy cutting the floral paper and pairing it with the stripes is just fabulous! Add those sweet Geisha girls, even better! These are all incredible Michelle!

Hi Michelle! Thanks for letting me "hang" out with the group and be a guest this month! It was so much fun! Your cards are so cohesive in the colors and the collection --- it is just like it belongs on a fashion runway! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Geisha card with the cutting of the florals and the striking STRIPES backdrop = BRILLIANCE! Thanks again for letting me guest - Have the best day Michelle!

You really used Jeanne’s love of bright colors and layers well with your cards. Your own style shines through each design too. Great job!!

Marybeth said...

Oh gosh Michelle, I so love your first card with the stripes and blooms one of my favorite combos! The ninja card is adorable too and I love the way you designed the fortune cookies with the fortune showing.
Love your colorful group of cards with Jeanne's wonderful kit. Hope you have a great weekend friend.
