Fun floral inspiration for the March PTI Blog Hop. My first thought was to use Friendly Flowers & make a stamped background. I also used Make It Market Garden Gild & Harvest Berries. So much fun to stamp on colored cardstock, Aqua Mist, for a change. The inks are Aqua Mist, Hawaiian Shores, Hibiscus Burst, Lovely Lady, Stormy Sea, Blueberry Sky & Spring Rain along with white pigment ink & Brilliance Graphite Black. 
I'm also entering CCCB, Stamping Sensations & Word Art Wednesday.
I'm playing nurse at home for a few weeks as hubby is having cataract surgery which requires lots of eye drops. Things are going well so far. He's not allowed to do yard work, but we're having so much rain that's out of the question anyway. Thanks so much for taking time to stop by.
Greta, what a darling card. Love the pretty background stamping & the fun sentiment. Fabulous take on both challenges.
ReplyDeleteWonderful card...love your sweet background!
ReplyDeleteFabulous card Greta! I love your background, great selection of stamps!! Have a great weekend...I see some blue right now, probably won't stay, but sure gives us hope!
ReplyDeleteSo awesome Greta. Your background is beautiful on the aqua. Great job combining the two challenges.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty colors and I like how you used two different sentiments on this!
ReplyDeleteJust love how you created the background and did the sentiment, Greta! Happy healing to DH!!
ReplyDeleteOh wow, I haven't seen this technique before Greta, and you have pulled it off beautifully. Good that hubby has you by his side, hope healing progresses quickly and smoothly.
ReplyDeleteStunning card, Greta. Beautiful stamping. I also have the same issue with my MIM card this week--a bit tricky to open, but still a very cool technique.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card Greta! Love all the beautifully stamped blossoms! Great take on the PTI challenges! Happy hopping!
ReplyDeletewonderful card Greta - so pretty in those colors!
ReplyDeleteLove your card, Greta! It's so fun to see everyone's choices today and their point of inspiration. I'm still waiting for the new butterfly set and had hoped to use it. It's about time for some sun, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteyou absolutely nailed the MIM technique, greta!! really beautiful design, my friend!!
ReplyDeleteOh my, how fun!! I love that the sentiment is inside and die cut through the front! I need to remember this for future reference! Such a fun technique and beautiful card!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful way to play in both challenges Greta! Love the flower set you used and chipboard sentiment!Hope you have a great weekend !
ReplyDeleteAgree with you about being tricky to open and close but that's what the MIM challenge was all about so we followed directions. Your card is beautiful, Greta. I didn't realize we could enter the same card in two PTI challenges at once, but now I know and will remember that. Hope your DH is healing well.
ReplyDeleteLovely, lovely card Greta! Your colors are so pretty and I love how you did your sentiment too! :0)
ReplyDeleteSuper sweet card, Greta!! Love the soft colors!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card with the lovely flowers! Great technique with the sentiment! And, hope your husband does well with healing from his surgery! I know he'll have a great nurse helping him!
ReplyDeleteSo So pretty, Greta! The die cut "friends" is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteYou did an awesome job with that floral design for the hop, Greta, and I am over-the-moon with the inside-popped-through-the-front sediment!! Love this! Sending best wishes to hubby for a smooth recovery from his eye surgery - I know he's in good hands!! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteThis is a different take on window - it's great! Thanks for joining in at City Crafter.
ReplyDeleteGreat take on a window card. The front background is very pretty and love that the word die pops through.
ReplyDeleteMy what a stunning card for that blog hop!! I adore the colours you used and the stamping is beautiful. Love your second card to ... CAS at it's best!
ReplyDeleteThis is just beautiful! Aqua Mist is good for so many things but I really love it here. Friendly Flowers is one of my favorites and you've made it shine even brighter.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty, Greta. I love all the names of those inks, it makes them so cheerful to use! I'm glad hubby is doing well. So many drops, so little time! Go Ducks!
ReplyDeleteYou nailed both the blog hop and our challenge! Such a clever idea to use the sentiment as an aperture. And yes; definitely a challenge to open this card:) Cards like this are keepsakes; wow! Thanks so much for joining us this week at CCCB!
ReplyDeleteClever design! A beautiful card. Thanks for joining us at Stamping Sensations.

This is just so pretty, Greta ... the die cut word pops so beautifully against the soft aqua mist! My card for MIM also presents the same issues opening it ... though it was so fun to play with! Hugs, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful way to combine both challenges! Your stamped pattern paper is beautiful and I liked how you stamped inside too!
ReplyDeleteOh, this is so pretty! Wonderful take on the inspiration photo!
ReplyDeleteA lovely creation Greta and love your choice of colours, the hints of pink against the soft greeny aqua looks so pretty, many thanks for joining in with our 'Close to Nature' theme at Stamping Sensations challenge.
