| Card by Maile Belles |
Maile Belles pretty much always inspires me, so no surprise I'm casing her for my PTI Create Along With Us entry. I've had PTI Boutique Borders: Birthday for quite awhile--mostly just used the sentiments. Last month when Splits: Just a Note was released, it gave me new ideas for Boutique Borders. Then I saw how Maile used this month's Splits: Celebrate & ended up with 2 cards. First I gold embossed the border image on kraft & added the Wonderful Words: Hello die cut. Love the kraft, black & gold combo.
Next I stamped the border in black (using my mini MISTI--yah!) on ivory cardstock. PTI's Counting My Blessings die was cut from gold paper & mounted 3 high so that there's a very slight black shadow. I used little stickers for the sentiment & embellished with black/gold/cream twine (NBUS!) & black Rain Dots.
Thanks so much for stopping by.
Love this!
ReplyDeleteI love both of these. Sigh, isn't Maile just so inspiring!?
ReplyDeleteboth cards are fabulous, greta!! I had been wondering if a similar look could be created with this boutique borders set and thanks to you now I know you can!!
ReplyDeleteOh how pretty! Love the classic gold and black Greta, these are fantastic! Thanks ever so much for the pretty spring card I received today :)

Love your second card! Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteHi Greta. I like them both! First I thought `the second one, that`s the one´ but now I think that both creations are just great. The second card - to me - is eyecatching because of the golden `blessed´.
ReplyDeleteHi Great : ) Awesome!! cards! super job on this challenge! : )
ReplyDeletePatti
That 'blessed' card is the bomb! Not to diss that first card though, it has its merits as well.
ReplyDeleteSpot on interpretation of Maile's style, Greta! I, too, need to pull out my Boutique Borders and get creating some CAS cards. Black, gold and white/cream are so elegant.
ReplyDeleteSimply stunning, Greta. Love the 2nd card a bit extra. Just a perfect expression of beauty!
ReplyDeleteBeautifully CAS designs on both, Greta! Love the subtle colors
ReplyDeleteOH, Greta, I love...love...both cards!
ReplyDeleteFabulous take on Maile's design.
Beautifully done!
