I'm so happy gold is again popular in the world of cardmaking--not just for the holidays. I've always loved using gold, but lately I've been trying out the new to me combo of gold with pink. Today's card is for CAS-ual Friday's birthday challenge & is made with Penny Black stamps. I gold embossed the rose & the distressed edges. Delicata Golden Glitz is swiped on the sentiment piece (stamped with Versafine Vintage Sepia) & the card edges. Also thought I'd share a picture of my favorite pink rhododendron. They're very popular in Oregon & are so beautiful but only for a couple weeks. Hubby has the chore of taking off the dead blooms & keeps threatening to tear them all out. He's kidding--I think! Happy Spring--especially to those of you with snow right now! Maybe you can feel spring looking at the picture until you have it at your house.
Wow....absolutely gorgeous Greta!!

Oh, did I ever need that pretty flower photo, Greta - thank you! We've got snow coming down as I type this - excuse me, but isn't it May 1st?! *SIGH*
ReplyDeleteI love your card - that gold embossed rose looks so pretty with the pink!
Very pretty, Greta! I love how the rose looks embossed in gold. And the rhododendrons are gorgeous! They would never last in the Texas heat so I will have to just admire yours.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!! Love the gold and this rich pink combo! Awesome use of stamp and colors, Greta! And thank you for sharing the beautiful blooms! What a treat to see!
ReplyDeleteGold & pink look fabulous together! I want to try it now :) I always reach for pink & silver. Totally gorgeous blooms - I remember LOADS of red ones outside our house in Vancouver as a kid. My tulips are almost all the way up - next come buds! I can't wait :)
ReplyDeleteAww....lovely card, Greta! I would never have think of combining the pink with gold but I love how your card turned out!
ReplyDeleteLovely flowers!
Love the pink and gold together Greta! And those spring blooms, very pretty! The rhododendron haven't bloomed here yet. The tulips are beginning to fade though so it won't be long ;)
ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty, Greta! Ohhhh... and an adorable photo of the rhododendron! LOVE rhododendrons :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining the CAS-ual Fridays challenge this week!

DeleteI'm happy that gold is around again too Greta! It's so versatile and just so pretty...it seems to go with everything...a must have. I love this floral image and how you've set it to the right edge. gold on pink is perfect.
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful Greta. Love the colour combo together. Your flowers are lovely too.
ReplyDeleteGreta, I really like your rhododendron. I forget how pretty they are until they start blooming in the spring and they sure do put on a show!
ReplyDeleteI think the gold on your card is so elegant and I love the rose stamp! The colors are so perfect this time of year!
