I was about to give up on the PTI MIM challenge: Emboss Resist Shadow Sentiments. I only have a couple big word stamps & they have a design which didn't work at all! Last night I decided to make a fun foam stamp with the Wonderful Words: Hello die & it worked!
Next is another splash of color card, but with 6 colors! Yep--used another little bit of my rainbow swiped piece.
Well we could certainly do with some sunshine here today Greta. It's dark and dismal and pouring with rain!
ReplyDeleteTwo super cards Greta. I love the colours on the first and the Hello stamp works a treat. The second is a very pretty CAS card and the jewel centres look very pretty on the little flowers. Barbxx
Great technique and pretty colours on your first card and glad you did not give up. Such a CAS beauty on the second card and such a cue rainbow stripe x
ReplyDeleteGreta, I love your beautiful butterfly card! That color combination is a keeper!
ReplyDeleteI think your sunshine/rainbow card is fabulous! The rainbow strip is gorgeous - stunning. Then I like that you've kept the rest simple and added in a few coloured drops to pick up the colour. CAS and clever - I love it! Thank you so much for joining us at Retro Rubber for our rainbow colour challenge.
ReplyDeletelove the soft colors in your first card and that bit of rainbow on the second one is just the right accent!
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely cards, Greta! Love the first card with the butterfly, colors, and sentiment...so soft and dreamy! Second card is fun with the rainbow strip and pretty flowers! Hope it cools down there soon! Temps declined a tad here, but it's still quite humid. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeletewonderful set of cards, greta!! your take on the MIM technique is amazing and spot on!! the flowers on the second one are just too sweet!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards Greta. Well done on making your own stamp. And your second card is so sweet.
ReplyDeleteI love that soft look of the first card. Even the embossing is soft! Your diy stamp worked just fine. The second card is bright and happy. That is a great use of the leftover stripe. And no, we don't need anymore sunshine here. Please save it for the wintertime. Then it will be needed!
ReplyDeleteWonderful cards! Love the rainbow one, clean and sweet. Thank you for sharing your card with ATSM!
ReplyDeleteHi Greta, you did a wonderful job meeting the challenge, I'm impressed that you could make a stamp from a die... awesome! Beautiful cards. Take care, Shirleyxx
ReplyDeleteLove the soft background and butterfly on your first card and rainbow on the second. Fab cards
ReplyDeleteLove the soft background on your card. So pretty with that butterfly. And I really like the white CAS card with the rainbow strip.
ReplyDeleteBoth gorgeous cards, I love the delicate pastel shades you used on your first card with the offset butterfly and the sentiment worked a treat x
ReplyDeleteSweet cards Miss Greta...love those beautiful colors and your shadowing. Thank you so much for playing along with us at ATSM!
ReplyDeleteLove your subtle color palette for your "Hello" card, Greta, and the Emboss Resist technique worked beautifully. What a fun sunshine card with rainbow colors!
ReplyDeleteYour foam stamp worked like a charm Greta, this is so pretty! I like the soft colors in the background. Those little blooms with the colorful centers on your second card is as sweet as can be. Another fantastic pair of cards!
ReplyDeleteYou are always so creative with your takes on challenges! Just making a foam stamp from a die and you can play - brilliant! The second card is sweet and fun! You should also enter it at the AAA Cards Challenge "CAS rainbow" - it's perfect for it!
ReplyDeleteWhat a clever way to get into the challenge with your pretty first card. Love the effect you created with the shadow embossing and the colours are beautiful. By contrast the second on is crisp and clean and no less attractive, beautiful work.
ReplyDeleteDarling cards both, Greta. Your cards are sure to make smiles happen.
ReplyDeleteSo, so pretty! How clever to repeat the dots from your embossed background to the butterfly. Good job on creating your shadow too. I like the CAS simplicity of your second card.
ReplyDeleteGreta, congrats on your win!!!
ReplyDeleteGreta, lol, yes, I did think to myself, darn it, if I only waited a few more minutes to post... Happy for your win.
DeleteCongratulations on your win, Greta! If it's truly random, I missed it by one. Have fun adding to your cart.
ReplyDeleteGreta, the rainbow card is sweet CAS perfection. The strip on the side pulls it altogether. And, yes, no additional sunshine necessary where I live. Even my girls hate to go out in this heat. Thanks for sharing your card with Retro Rubber this challenge. Love to Fritz....
ReplyDeleteSuch a cute CAS card! I really love how you used the rainbow inspiration for this creation. Thank you for playing along with us at Retro Rubber and hope to see you in the gallery again soon.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards! Both so very different but equally gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteLovely cards, I love that rainbow strip on the second one and the delicate flowers. Thanks for playing along with us at Retro Rubber this time. Claire DT
ReplyDeleteNice card, I love all the soft colors in your first card and the other is such a CAS card. Thanks for joining Retro Rubber.
