Decided to try something a little different for this card that I'm entering into the DeNami Addict theme Challenge-Gardens
HERE. I'm combining distressed/muted spring colors with white embossing, glitter, pearls & gems. Usually I would have done the whole thing bright. However, I like trying new twists & the pumice stone Distress Ink is a new favorite, so that's what I sponged on all the edges. The main colors are Distress Ink tumbled glass, shabby shutters & tattered rose. I really like this DeNami flower stamp (from my friend, Rosemary--thanks again!) that can work for many types of cards. The Stickles on the blossoms & the new DeNami butterfly is Star Dust. All the layers are mounted with foam tape. I'd love to hear what you think. Thanks for coming by.

Wow Greta....this is a stunning background! Just a beautiful card".
ReplyDeleteAnd I love the bits of glitter on the flowers....
ReplyDeleteso pretty, greta! i'm so happy you are enjoying the stamps!! :)
ReplyDeleteHello Greta
ReplyDeleteYou have made the distress inks which are usually muted, become fanciful; like a tub of Neapolitan ice-cream,(do you have that in the States?)your pot-pourri of colour commands attention, your contrast of White of the image is PERFECT, and adding your dimensional butterfly creates interest and movement along with the bling leading towards your sentiment.
A lovely card.

Oh, Greta, these colors are so soft and pretty! What a lovely card!
ReplyDeletefabulous colours Greta. Love the muted colour scheme and the Stickles look awesome on the flowers and butterfly.
ReplyDeletelove the distressing! great colors.
ReplyDeleteI think the darker distressing gives your stamped panel good depth Greta!! It's almost like looking at an impressionist painting of a misty garden:) And I really like how you added the bit of sparkle to the flowers and butterfly!
ReplyDeleteOhh Greta, this is so soft and pretty! Those distressed muted colors really let the white embossing and pearls stand out nicely.
