Thoughts of You
Most of the cards I send are not for a special occasion, but just to say you're on my mind. Finally found a PTI die I could use for this week's PTI MIM challenge. My first attempt didn't work at all, but then I pulled out one of my favorite sets--Turning a New Leaf. The large die was easy to use for a border. I stamped with Limeade Ice & attached the top small die cut with foam tape. The sentiment is from Tag-Its #3 & is stamped in Kraft ink. I used my waterbrush to add splotches of Tarnished Brass Distress Stain before attaching the leaf panel to my kraft card with foam tape. Finished off with a Vintage Cream twill bow.
Hope you're enjoying the weekend. Another part-time nurse volunteered to take my shift today, so I'm only working tomorrow. Hopefully I can get zucchini apple bread made & put in the freezer. Thanks so much for choosing to spend some time visiting my blog.
Edited to add: Also entering the challenge to use stamps & die cuts at STAMPlorations.
I love this, Great!! What a perfect die to use for this technique. I had fits with my attempt big time, but I want to try again, so thanks for this inspiration! Have a great weekend! Hugs, Darnell

ReplyDeleteThis is so pretty. I have always admired this set... The background splatters look great. Did you get your bread made? Hope you are having a great week.
ReplyDeleteGreta this is stunning! That is one set I always wished I bought ..I think it would be my favorite as well! This is so elegant!
ReplyDeleteI apologize for my late visit...just getting caught up!
ReplyDeleteThis is really beautiful, Greta! I love that you chose this set (one of my all time faves, too)...it's perfect for this technique, and your splatters are so pretty!
Hello Greta...this is beautiful and I love the fall colors too. Such a sweet way to say you are thinking of someone.
ReplyDeletePerfect die for that 'non-border die used as a border' technique over at PTI (I watch, but can't join in because no PTI lives at my place. Shipping rate = OUCH!! Maybe some day..). Your leaves are lovely, and paired with the brown and cream, absolutely eye-catching gorgeous! Such a marvelous card to let someone know you're thinking of them!! Smiles and warmth guaranteed (and I 'need' to start mailing cards! Honestly. How slow am I to that process! A simple trip to the post office is all it takes, but noooooo...I keep forgetting, yet all these cards sit on my table, saying, "hello...do something with us." Yeesh! Me = goofball!
ReplyDeleteHugs~c
Oh so pretty Greta. Love how you've used that die and paired it with stamping and splattering. Thanks for joining us at STAMPlorations with this lovely card.
ReplyDeleteReally lovely the way you did the leaves the colors are so pretty. You are really great at the splotches and I am going to try it the way you did it too!
