The mood board for the Ellen Hutson Pin-Sights Challenge is full of fabulous inspiration, but I kept being drawn to the bright pink flowers & white chairs in the upper right corner. 
Next is my card card for a2z Scrapbooking Color it In challenge.
I used Hero Arts Color Layering For You Flowers stamp set which I bought after seeing a video using the images on their own instead of layered. The second step flower & leaf images are white embossed on a square of Bristol paper so I could color with my Zigs.
I added splatters from the darkest purple & aqua pens & then misted several times from about 15 inches away with Perfect Pearls. I used a Spellbinder die to cut the opening in a square of the same textured gray cardstock I used in the first card. The sentiment from the same set is white embossed on a die cut vellum circle (Lifestyle Crafts) matted with a slightly larger circle. PPP sparkling clear sequins finish off the card. I'm also entering Darnell's NBUS #7 (hadn't used the flower or sentiment), SSS Wednesday & Allsorts. Thanks so much for taking time to stop by.
They are both very different in style but absolutely exquisite Greta!

What a beautiful pari of cards Greta!! You completely captured the feel of the chairs and bright pink flowers with your card. The second is just dreamy, so feminine. Penelope has learned to say purple, she would like this one!!
ReplyDeleteTwo beauties Greta, off to check out the Hero stamps. Many thanks for joining us at Allsorts this week.

ReplyDeleteBoth cards are simply stunning. So happy to see your second card at A2Z this month.
ReplyDeletewonderful cards Greta - both are so lovely in their own way!
ReplyDeleteOh Greta, you have done it again. Created two wonderful cards that I love. You missed your calling by not being a designer. I love those purple shades of flowers paired with the gray cardstock. I also love your take on the inspiration picture. Great card and using that embossing folder was pure genius.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards! I love the layered floral one more.
ReplyDeleteI see I'm following you, how about returning the favor to a fellow crafty RN?:)
Both cards are so pretty Greta! Love the fun die cut blossom on the first and all the beautiful stamping on the second!

Love both your cards - the first is modern and striking.
ReplyDeleteThe second seems to me to be full of life. So glad you joined us at a2z Scrapbooking.
Love the embossed flowers and the colors you used to color them with! Thanks for joining us at a2z!
ReplyDeleteLove the pretty pop of pink for the swirly flower with the stripes. Very nice!!! Your other card reminds me of the technique where you roll fresh flowers through your Big Shot to transfer the color to you paper.
ReplyDeleteThanks for playing in my NBUS Challenge again, Greta! Both cards are dazzling!! You really aced that Ellen upper right photo with your first card and your second card is so pretty in the orchid color!! Hugs, Darnell
