Another Foiled Magnet
By now you know I love using foil with self adhesive fun foam. Couldn't resist adding another color of foil to my stash--pewter. When it arrived I thought I made a mistake, but oh my goodness--it's wonderful! You might think it's silver, but it's darker & very elegant. It will also be great for masculine cards.
I've been wanting to frame a picture from my meeting with Darnell last year & finally did it. The cute blossoms from Uniko Flower Power #7 are stamped in PTI Spring Rain & Enchanted Evening. I covered them with Diamond Glaze giving a clear dimension. They were too light, so I added faded jeans Distress Stickles & pearl centers. The vellum leaves are by 4enScrap & the friends die cut is PTI inked in Enchanted Evening & covered with WOS. It's now in the place of honor on my fridge! I'm entering these challenges: Uniko, CropStop, Double D & SSS Wednesday.
Thought I'd leave you with pictures of my first roses to bloom--very early this year. Thanks so much for taking time to visit my blog.

ReplyDeleteWhat a marvelous way to dress up this WONDERFUL photo of you and Darnell!! I would love to meet you one day too Greta, you're such a sweet blogging friend!! This is beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteThisis such a wonderful way to frame yourself and Darnell, looks wonderful. As do your roses, I just looked out the window at my frangipani tree and saw its still flowering as we head inyo the last month of autumn. But nothing beats the look and smell of roses, if I could grow flowers roses would be in my garden.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful project Greta with such a pretty photo inside! What a great memento! Your roses are gorgeous! TFS
ReplyDeleteAs always lovely work Greta, can imagine just how stunning it looks irl with the foil, thank you for sharing.

What a sweet photo of you two! Love the pewter frame I have so much foil and I have not used it on the fun foam in a long time. I did add it to the frame you sent but it got messed up so I never shared it on my blog. Hugs
ReplyDeleteOh, how lovely!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great photo of the two of you, Greta!! And the perfect frame for your smiles!! Gorgeous pewter foil and flowers!! Beautiful roses! Let's hope everything comes up big and bold and beautiful early this year...the weather is sure cooperating!!
ReplyDeleteanother fabulous project, greta!! you are the queen of foiling with fun foam!! your roses are just beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteYour frame is a real work of art! So petite and pretty and perfect for your fridge. Absolutely flawless job on this. Love the foil and I'm especially fond of pewter. Your roses are a work of art, too. They certainly are early. I have buds, but no blooms yet. Thanks for sharing this in our Double D April Showers Challenge, Greta!
ReplyDeleteYour new frame is adorable. So glad you got to meet Darnell! My roses are looking to be a little bit late this year but they're still young ones. Your pink rose is stunning!
ReplyDeleteThe perfect frame for this wonderful photo of you two gorgeous gals! How wonderful to have this memory in print and in a place of honour on your fridge. Your roses....oh my! Stunning!
ReplyDeleteHugs~c
Fantastic photo of the 2 of your and beautifully decorated in the frame. Great use of metallics and thanks for sharing at Uniko this time. Sarah
ReplyDeleteHi Greta! It's been so long since I came here...
ReplyDeleteBut I still and always love your beautiful creativity!
I didn't know this kind of foil. Your lovely frame is a pretty way to use metallics and to keep memories.
Love your precious roses... I can smell them from here 😉
Hugs
Awesome photo of you and Darnell! It is beautifully decorated with the foil and sentiment! And, lovely roses! I'm still waiting for my tulips to bloom. Should be any day now. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty frame for 2 pretty ladies. Lucky you to meet up with Our Darnell...and I can see you both enjoyed it. I have never thought of trying to foil the fun foam. Would love to have instructions....did you use the nuvo glue to adhere, or ?Minc? wonder if the heat would melt the foam so prob'ly not the Minc. Good idea though, such dimension, and the flowers are wonderful too. TFS
ReplyDeleteOh how I love that frame and the picture of the two of you!
ReplyDeleteYou are both radiant! Look at these smiles!
Bravo Greta!!
Thank you for the head's up to come over, Greta! I'm glad you did or I would have been really startled to see my mug front and center on your blog! I love the frame you made for our photo, but you know, I love the one you gave me even more!! It's still sitting right here in the Playhouse!! Although I do love the addition of the friends word across the front. You are really a wizard with the foils! (I had to smile that you didn't even link my name, like everyone knows me - too funny!) Thank you for making my day and then some!! Mwah! Also, thanks for sharing your gorgeous roses!! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteBut everyone DOES know you! I've linked it now, just in case someone crawls out from under a blogland rock--haha!
DeleteWhat a beautiful keepsake Greta!! you are so blessed to have gotten to meet Darnell in person! : ) Your frame is really really beautiful!!
ReplyDeletePatti
Beautiful project and beautiful bloom too!
ReplyDeletestunning Greta. Your foiled frame is perfect with the photo of you two together.
ReplyDeleteTwo of my favorite people in a gorgeous frame! That is a great picture and the pewter sets it off beautifully. The flowers are so, so pretty and I love the vellum leaves. What a fun pix to see everyday on the fridge.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Brenda. Definitely two of my favorite people! How fun to create this keepsake. I love pewter, it is rich and somehow holds history for me.
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous frame for two beautiful ladies! Our roses are in full bloom too. It does seem early!
ReplyDeleteGreta, I love how you framed the sweet photo of the two of you.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully done!
Great photo of you guys! Love this!
ReplyDeletePewter foil? Be still my crafty heart!!! I'll bet this frame is gorgeous in person, but not nearly as gorgeous as the two ladies in the photo...and, that's the truth! I also LOVE your flowers and the font on your sentiment is just perfect, Greta!
ReplyDeleteOh it's wonderful!! What a lovely photo of you two!
