Thinking of You--more orange!
I've had MFT Peaceful Wildflowers stamps & dies for a long time, but haven't used them very much. Decided they'd be perfect for another MFT Color Challenge card using the new MFT sketch. I took time to die cut the images from scratch paper to use as a guide per Julee's video. So worth the time! The mini MISTI made stamping the flowers easy using Memento Grape Jelly & Lulu Lavender along with PTI Orange Zest & Limeade Ice. I brushed all of them with Wink of Stella.
The sentiment is from the same set & I really like it stamped in color instead of a neutral for a change. The side strip is Geometric Grid BG--one of my newest & most loved MFT stamps! The orange was softened a bit by brushing with Perfect Pearls water. Betty has mentioned several times that she used Laurie's Press 'N Seal technique for bouquets. I watched the video & must have paid better attention this time since it finally worked for me! I saved a vellum envelope that came in the mail even though it had very little plain space.
Turns out there was enough to die cut MFT Vertical Greetings & I could put the glue where the flowers covered it. Finished with ink & Perfect Pearls splatters & PPP Sparkling Clear sequins given to me by my sweet friend, Rosemary. This was specially made for a blogging friend--hope she likes it! I'm also entering The Playground, HLS Anything Goes & Word Art Wednesday. Thanks so much for stopping by.

ReplyDeleteThis is dreamy! Love the delicate flowers and pretty spring colors!!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!!! Love that beautiful bunch of flowers and all of the sparkle!!!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Great design
ReplyDeleteWonderful design Greta, and the colors wow - you are spot on with the challenge. I am sure your friend will love it. I finally moved my press and seal from the kitchen up to my craft area. I always was a bit shy having it around food...what makes it stick? Do I want that near food? So now its found a good home. Perfect for sending diecuts in the mail too one can send the negative and positive portions.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bouquet Greta. Love the colors.
ReplyDeleteI love what you have done with this beautiful stamp set. The purples and orange with a touch of green is gorgeous! Beautiful card!
ReplyDeleteOH MY, Greta, this is simply gorgeous! It's definitely a Winner! WOW, you ROCKED the colors & sketch! Beautifully done!
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely and elegant card! Your stamping is perfect and this is such a beautiful colour palette!
ReplyDeleteA really pretty card Greta. Your bouquet is beautiful. What a good idea to use the press and seal. It's a very clever technique. I don't know if we have that product in the UK. Will have to look around. Barbxx
ReplyDeleteStunning card Greta - the flowers are so beautiful! And, the press and seal technique looks a great idea - I'm hoping Bard manages to track it down in the UK so she can tell her where she found it :) I often arrange flowers and can never get them stuck in the right place when it comes to actually gluing them down.
