I've been trying to come up with something for the Winnie & Walter May Color Combo, but couldn't figure out how to work in the lavender. Finally decided to follow Heather's example of using designer paper & I found exactly what I needed!
Thought I'd also show you how I added the gift card holder for the Poppystamps challenge onto a card before sending it off. Really love the WRMK's 3D embossing folder! Thanks so much for taking time to stop by.
Lovely Vintage creation Greta, G45 does lend itself well and yours second card is very stylish, many thanks for joining us at Allsorts.
ReplyDeleteA very pretty Bird, not something native to our parts unfortunately.

Your card is very elegant. The PP is so pretty. I also like your gift card holder card. It is another very pretty card. Your visiting bird is beautiful as well. Isn't it lovely having a feeder and seeing all the birds that come to visit.
ReplyDeleteYour bird pic is so sweet, what a darling feathered creature.
ReplyDeletePretty card Greta, just love both your cards today.xx [aNNie]
Oh how good it is to be visiting you again... Your cards are all wonderful from felt flowers to watercolouring, to vintage... I love how you adapt your style to create such beauties. I was sorry to hear about your hubby though ... I've had kidney stones and that pain is awful! I hope you had a lovely break and that sunset is amazing! Sending big hugs!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards Greta!So glad you rescued the doily...how pretty on your card! I love that embossing folder too..another awesome card and clever way to add a gift card.
ReplyDeleteI love your photo of the bird Greta. We really enjoy watching the birds in the garden too. Your cards are lovely and what pretty paper that Graphic 45 is. The doiley works so well with it. Barbxx
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful Welcome Summer card! Gorgeous paper, love the doily and the pretty color of the word summer. Wonderful pic of the bird - he's so pretty!
ReplyDeleteOooh, so much to love, Greta! The Secret Garden paper is some of the most beautiful ever. I've never had it, but would probably hoard it. Looks so pretty on your card with the rescued doily. Gorgeous embossing on your second card and a lovely way to present a gift card. I'm so glad you shared the Grosbeak, too. It seemed like our birds were laying low for a while, but now they're showing up with their youngsters. So cute!
ReplyDeleteHe is beautiful !

ReplyDeleteGorgeous summer vintage card, Greta - just love the delicate patterned paper with that yummy doily! Cool gift card holder too - I love the embossed background!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card...just gorgeous. The doily is shear perfection! Your gift card holder is as cute as can be!
ReplyDeleteI love your pretty and elegant card with that gorgeous floral paper. The little butterflies like sweet spruced up with a bit of shimmer. You found the perfect cardstock for your title and a good save with the doily too. The deep embossing of your "Enjoy" card sets off the delicate water colour and rich red blooms on the top layer. Well now I know that an Evening Grosbeak is a type of Finch found in the USA and I've listened to it's beautiful call through the wonders of the internet. Always rewarding to visit your blog.
ReplyDeleteSilly bird!! Both of your cards are lovely and ever so feminine Greta. Great save on the doily!!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to see hubby is feeling better and can joke. Wow, that paper is so lovely and a great gift for you. My doily would have had soup on it but yours looks perfect on your card. I love the embossing folder under the gift card. It fits so well with those gorgeous red flowers.
