Camouflaging Hello
February is a special month for me: my mom's BD was the 23rd, my BD (milestone this year!), my niece's BD, my first full month of semi-retirement, my Blog's anniversary (4 years) & PTI's anniversary (9 years)! There are lots of PTI challenges this week & I started by making a card with Erin's color combo for the DT Favorites challenge. I don't have Lemon Tart ink, so used Memento Dandelion. My stamps are from these PTI sets: Twig Wreath, Harvest Berries & Wonderful Words Hello. I actually stamped a larger panel, but dropped the inked sentiment stamp on it!
Changed the card design & I think it's better than my original plan anyway. Wonderful Words Hello die is used for the camouflage technique, a little border of Berry Sorbet cardstock is added & the panel is attached to a Classic Kraft card. I used a few of my precious PTI Rainstones (a gift from a blogging friend) for embellishment. Not a traditional Valentine, but hopefully my blogging friend won't mind. I'm also entering ATSM, Penny Black & More, The Playground, Stamping Sensations, Die Cut Divas & SSS Wednesday. Thanks so much for stopping by.
Very pretty indeed Greta. I really like the colours. Your friend will love it. Barbxx

Such a stylish card Greta and the colours really pop from the Kraft, really should make an effort to use that more.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for joining our February themes at Stamping Sensations and Penny Black and More challenges.
And thanks for the inspiration on the card below, after I visited it the other day popped back as it made a perfect case for an anniversary card I needed.

ReplyDeleteFabulous card my friend and here's another coincidence... Not only is your BD the same as my DH but his daughter's BD is the 23rd ... This is getting very weird!

Lovely card Greta, I love how your panel just stands out so bright and clean against the kraft base. Super design.

This is so pretty Greta and I love your colour combo. I've never tried that die cutting technique. It is very impressive. Barbxx
ReplyDeleteLove your card, I really like how you stamped over the die cut too.
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining us at Stamping Sensations this month

This is so pretty, and your inlaid hello is cool. I really like the smaller panel and how much kraft is showing, so I guess your dropped stamp was a happy accident. Great save.
ReplyDeleteSo effective - brilliant idea and great execution.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for sharing with us at Penny Black & More this month.
