I made 2 cards over the weekend using stamps/dies from a couple companies that have recently been added to my list of favorites: Winnie & Walter and Concord & 9th.
First is my entry for W&W Rerun #16 using Lydia's wreath card for inspiration. My wreath is made with by stamping the tiny leaf & blossom from W&W Big, Bold, Seasons using Memento Pistachio & Rhubarb Stalk. The sentiment is from the same set & I gold embossed "winter" & stamped "bliss" in Versafine Vintage Sepia. Gold stickles was added to the centers of the blossoms & the panel was liberally spritzed with gold Perfect Pearls. I'll probably use it for a winter birthday card. I'm also entering AAA Cards & Double D.
Next is my Sparkle & Shine card for Where Creativity Meets C9. I really love the Layering Leaves dies & my sweet friend Betty sent me several die cuts.
That wreath is lovely Greta, and the sentiment inside is perfect. Your second card is another stunner. Love that you left some bits in the die cut, makes for interesting texture. Fabulousness here.
ReplyDeletelove your cards Greta and so glad you have found use for the leaves i sent - i really like leaving the bits in place too and glad they all arrived safely in place. that gold metallic on the card is perfect accent!

A beautiful wreath, so nicely enhanced with the shimmery gold lettering. The smile card looks fab on the Kraft background with the gold ribbon. Lovely work. TFS
ReplyDeleteBoth are lovely Greta but think the winter wreath is my favourite today.
