with HER CARD for the 4EnScrap challenge, which I'm also entering. The inks are Distress squeezed lemonade & worn lipstick & the sentiment is one of my newest IO purchases, Heart to Heart, D6371. I first tried embossing it with a beautiful glittery gold powder, but it was very hard to read, so I redid it using a detail gold. I really wasn't happy with the card until I moved the vellum strip to an angle instead of horizontal & it made all the difference. I'm having fun using a variety of color schemes for my Valentines. Are you making any?
Greta, this is quite lovely. The yellow, pink and gold are wonderful together. I have one more day of homework, one birthday card due at months end, and the rest of the next two weeks...you got it Valentines.

ReplyDeleteWhat a unique palette, it is mouth watering; almost sweet to the taste buds as well as to the eye. The mix is luscious and makes for a beautiful card.

ReplyDeleteStunning colors on your gorgeous card Greta, it reminds me of an exotic fabric print!!!
ReplyDeleteStunning (hope you never tire of *hearing* me say that about your cards, because they are. Incredibly so!) You work magic with creating ink backgrounds, and the yellow+pink combination, with the white stamp and the gold sentiment on vellum is such a lovely combination! Yes, this is also going to the LOVE pile! As for Valentine cards - oh, yeah, lots of those happening, as I'm making a total of 51 for my sil for the kids to give to daycare pals and teachers. Toooo much fun!! Hugs~c
ReplyDeleteI like the vellum at an angle too! Awesome card. Love the colors you used. Very happy. Thanks for sharing.
