| Michele's Inspiration Card |
The very old sentiment was white embossed on a black scrap & I glued on 3 PPP clear dots. I used the colors for Verve's March challenge.
For my next card I had to try the Faux Mother of Pearl technique shown here & here. I have 7 colors of Liquid Pearls--they're so beautiful I couldn't resist back when I had a LSS selling them.
I've never been very happy with how my pearls turned out, but now the bottles won't just be decoration! I used the green & the pink & inked them with similar colors. Then I used Verve dies that match the Dream Big set for the flower & leaves. Just for fun I made a matching plaid panel inspired by my W2CB teammate, Penny. The sentiment is by Stampendous & is stamped in Brilliance Starlite Black. Almost out of this gorgeous, white, shimmery May Arts ribbon & I used PPP clear dots for my flower center. 
What a pretty pair of cards Greta!! I'm swooning over the first one!!
ReplyDeleteLove the camouflage technique! Need to try that out.
ReplyDeleteWonderful cards Greta, love how you used your pearls and your masked sentiment with the floral stamps.
ReplyDeleteI love them both and the first one made my jaw pop open!!
ReplyDeleteSuperb work my Friend!
Hugs~
Looks like you had a fun time making these two Greta, I especially like how you dealt with the sentiment on the first.

Both cards are fabulous Greta. Love the bright colours on your first one and the technique is awesome on your second.
ReplyDeleteOh, Greta, these are really beautiful! I love those bold flowers on the 'hidden sentiment' card and the 'faux mother of pearl' flower and leaves are really pretty, the way you have used them in such a creative 'basket weave' design is . . . inspirational! have a very lovely weekend!

Greta this is so lovely; I love how you placed the die cut sentiment and the partially stamping. Such a fab idea! And you nailed the sketch with your 2nd card. Perfect!
ReplyDeleteGreta both cards are so awesome. Love them both but the one using Liquid Pearls is just so pretty.
ReplyDeleteYour Muse card is a real treat! And the second card - I am just itching to try out this technique - hopefully my liquid pearls are still liquid....

ReplyDeleteTwo really lovely cards Greta and two very interesting techniques. A great idea for liquid pearls when they get difficult! Varbxx
ReplyDeleteThe Muse card is stunning, Greta! Love the way you used the glitter!
ReplyDeleteYour take on the Muse is fantastic! Absolutely love it! And I would have never thought of using liquid pearl for the Faux Mother of Pearl technique! It looks fabulous! (I played around with this technique on Thursday but used shimmery acrylic paint. Haven't turned my panels into cards yet.)
