From the Heart
October 1 is WCMD & the start of a new challenge at PBSC. Here's my card that I hope inspires you to join us. I used 3 images & a sentiment from PB's "every happiness"--a beautiful set from 2013. I tried several techniques, but ended up by inking 3 panels with Distress Inks. Then the images were stamped in Versafine Vintage Sepia several times using my Mini MISTI. I die cut them with AJVD Polka Dot Backdrop Rectangle & finally figured out an arrangement I liked. After stamping the sentiment I dry embossed the card front with a Tim Holtz folder. Pearls are probably my favorite embellishment--yes, I know, sequins are in.
Hopefully my blogging friend is a bit old-fashioned like me--haha! I'm entering SSS Wednesday & Word Art Wednesday. Thanks so much for stopping by.

ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful card Greta. I love the muted colours on the bark embossed background. A lovely idea using different leaf stamps. Barbxx
ReplyDeletelove those colors together Greta - wonderful fall card!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a fabulous layout for those stamps! Love this and have to pin it because I have that set, too but haven't used it in a while! Always good to get ideas from blogging friends!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous design with the pretty floral pieces, great lay-out! I've scrolled down to see others that I've missed, you been busy creating lots of beauty. I also love Fall and so glad that it's here. Thanks for your kind words at my blog, it's appreciated. Take care xxx
ReplyDeletewonderful design Greta! Love the layers on the muted background. i love my sequins...but lately those gems and pearls have been looking like they need to be used. maybe its the time of year?
ReplyDeleteSequins seem to fall off easier than pearls do, so you keep marching to the beat of your own trombonist. Great card! I'd be inspired if I weren't so sick. What did I make for WCMD? Lots of snot.
ReplyDeleteanother gorgeous fall design, greta!! so creative to ink up your panels with distress ink and then stamp the images!
ReplyDeleteLovely card Greta, I like your color blocked panels! I don't think pearls ever go out of style!! They look great here!
ReplyDeleteGreat design!
ReplyDeleteGreat choice of colors used together and the layout is so eye catching. I really like this fall card and the leaves. I thought those were metal embellishments, not pearls. I will NEVER run out of sequins! I think they multiply in my drawer.
ReplyDeleteLovely as can be with the pretty panels of leaves, Greta!! I always admire your wonderful cards with a nature theme!! Your card is perfect...love it!!!
ReplyDeleteHey Greta! Love the pretty colors you used...esp adding the pop of purple! Like that embossed card base too! ♥ Sue Kment

Greta, what pretty colors to use with kraft.

Your leaves are soooo pretty, especially in the colour combination and design you've chosen! LOVE!
