The Eclipse was Awesome!
We had clear blue skies--perfect for viewing the total solar eclipse! It was truly an amazing experience!
It's great that MFT gives everyone lots of time to enter Camp Create. I have 4 more cards done, but I'll just show you 2 of them today. First is one I made for Day 3: Background Bonanza & I happened to use an ombre color scheme, so I'll also add it to Bonfire Bonus: Awesome Ombre.
I used DI candied apple, abandoned coral & fossilized amber with MFT Concentric Circle stencil. Then I cut out the sentiment using MFT High Rise Lower Case Alphabet. The bird die cut is from MFT Contempo Cage. I'm also entering CropStop.
Next is my card for Day 5: Delightful Diecutting. I don't have candle dies, but I loved how Stephanie used them. I did basically the same idea with MFT Primitive Pumpkins dies & stamps.
I used DI carved pumpkin & added WOS to the pumpkins. The sentiment strip is popped up with foam tape.
I'm also entering SSS Wednesday. Thanks so much for taking time to stop by.
Glad you could see the eclipse. We went to KY to see it. Amazing! Love the cards!
ReplyDeleteGreat cards. How special to see the eclipse.
ReplyDeleteFantastic creations Greta! Great eclipse pic too~
ReplyDeletewonderful cards, Greta - and you got a much better photo of the eclipse than i did - it was cloudy here but we could see the whole thing really well.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great picture of the eclipse and you. I followed it across the country on tv. Did Fritz have any reaction to it? It clouded up a lot here but not darkness. Molly slept through the whole thing. I love both cards today. The circle is so pretty and the pumpkins are sparkly and fun and a cute design.
ReplyDeletefabulous take on both techniques, greta!! the pumpkins just glow with warmth!! cool eclipse photo!!
ReplyDeleteHi Greta, Your cards are gorgeous, love them both. Thanks for leaving a message your experience with Spam as well. And wow your photo of the eclipse is amazing. We couldn't see much here, we should have been able to, it didn't get dark at all. Take good care, Shirleyxx

Cool eclipse photo, Greta! And I love your Camp Create cards, especially the birdie on the HI!!
ReplyDeleteFantastic photo, Greta, and two great cards from your camp fun! That ombre beauty is amazing!! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteYou captured a wonderful shot of the eclipse - how exciting. The first card reminds me of a glorious sunrise with that little bird greeting the day and the sponging behind the pumpkins is beautiful. TFS
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing photo of the eclipse! Love the beams of color shooting out, so cool!! Marvelous cards too. Those pumpkins are adorable!
ReplyDeleteHow lucky are you to experience the eclipse? Total envy xx The first card is blended so beautifully with the gorgeous colours. Love the stencil you've used and the bird and large HI die cut sentiment look fabulous x Fun second card with a lovely layout and cute sentiment x
ReplyDeleteIt is an amazing sight! But then so are your two beautiful cards! Love the blending!
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are lovely! I love the unique design of the circle one, and the addition of stars to your pumpkin card. So happy you linked up to Cropstop! Your work is always inspiring!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photo of the eclipse, Greta. Unfortunately, in Greece we could not see this phenomenon. I love both you cards, my friend. The first one is my favourite. I love the colourful ombre circles and the beautiful bird! Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteOh, what a fab photo with the eclipse, Greta!! I wondered if you'd have a good viewing of it. Not a good view of it here. Awesome cards in fall colors! Love the dIe and sweet bird on your first card!! And, second card with pumpkins and stars is so fun!!
ReplyDeleteOne of the very few eclipse pics I've seen! We had one here a while ago and it was slightly weird but very exciting! Your cards are simply gorgeous - fabulous colour work! Jo x
ReplyDeleteThe birdie on the graphic background is adorable! And pumpkins and stars? What a great combination! Also love the colors on both of the cards!
ReplyDeleteThe blending on both cards is perfect. You;ve mastered that technique. I can't pick a favortie; I think both cards are stunning! You would be a fab addition to the MFT design team!
ReplyDeleteTotally amazing, both! Of course, you know I'm partial to the Halloween one; those pumpkins, paired with the stars, are fabulous!
