3 More Cards
Slowly getting back to normal after vacation. I've made a few cards, so thought I'd put them together in one post.
First is a happy accident using the negative gold water colored piece from this card's SSS sentiment. I tried to use it as a stencil with Versamark ink, but silly me, I used repositionable adhesive. Even though I left it in place to pour on the powders ( Zing Mustard, Apricot & Leaf), it ended up a mess. When I looked at the negative piece, though, it was kind of cool.
I added it to a kraft panel embossed with my favorite leafy folder & added some little gold Pico Embellisher dots. I'm entering Double D, Inkspirational & SSS Wednesday.
Next is a Christmas card using 4 dies from 4 companies--Lil' Inker, MFT, PTI and W&W. Love how this turned out, so clearly I'm drawn to clean & fresh designs.
The poinsettia is cut from white felt, the white strips are covered with Wink of Stella & the sentiment is gray cardstock stacked 3 high & clear embossed. I'm entering Christmas Card Challenges, CropStop & SSS Wednesday.
Edited to add: Also entering Rudolph Days.
Finally is my entry for Where Creativity Meets C9. I chickened out again & just used pieces of the C&9th Flourish stamp set. At least I've now inked up some stems & berries which I white embossed on Bristol paper.
Wish I'd used smooshing or ink blending instead of my Zigs, but no time to re-do it. The sentiment from the same set is stamped in Memento Nautical Blue & I used the same ink for the splatters. Can't see in the photo, but the panel is spritzed with Perfect Pearls for a beautiful shimmer. Finished off with clear Nuvo drops & a black frame. I'm also entering SSS Wednesday. Still catching up on everyone's blogs--thanks for stopping by.
Edited to add: Also entering SSS Monday.
Wonderful cards with fun elements!

ReplyDeleteThree lovely cards, Greta, Jo x
ReplyDeleteI love them all, Greta. I just used my embossing folder like the first card yesterday! Haven't done anything with it yet but I hope it will come out as cool as your card. I love those Zing colors. You did the Christmas card proud. I love the design of it and red and white theme. Simple, but lovely leaf card. You have been busy my friend.
ReplyDeleteAll three cards are very pretty, love the negative die cut, I need to think about trying that, fabulous... love it! Yes your designs are clean and fresh and I love that style, but it's difficult for me to do.. take good care xx

ReplyDeleteThree beauties, Greta! Especially love the use of the negative on card 1 and the Zig wash on card 3!!
ReplyDeleteThree gorgeous cards, Greta. I love how you've used the negative sentiment on your first card. xx

ReplyDeleteThanks so much for linking up -- we're over 1/2 way to our goal of 100 links this time!
A great save with your negative piece on that lovely embossed background. The bold red and white card packs a punch with the gorgeous flower and I love the smooshed card for it's simplicity. Beautiful work.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards Greta! All so unique! Love the embossed detail and the pretty blossom!
ReplyDeleteThree beauties, Greta! Looks like some challenge winners in here! I really love your Noel design!! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteThree wonderful cards, Greta! All different and so lovely! Awesome first card with the embossed background and negative with pretty colors! Second card is perfect with felt flower, and last card has gorgeous color and shine!
ReplyDeleteGreat texture on the first card and what a great save. Such a classy second card and love the clean and fresh look. Elegant third card which is great for their challenge x
ReplyDeleteI think your first card is really "cool", love the colour on the mono embossed background. Your second has lots of texture and I love the flower and the cut background. Your 3rd card is very elegant, lvoe the blue.

Lots of different moods to your three today and each one so pretty. I really like the middle poinsettia card!! You keep using felt on projects and it's time I got mine out of their box!
ReplyDeleteOooh, Greta, I had to stop and take a closer look as your autumn card drew me right in at the DD. The embossing is so beautiful and I think it's the same folder I just bought but haven't used yet. The fall season seems so short, but maybe it will make its way onto a Thanksgiving card. I also love your Christmas card. A nice, simple design and that big "noel" is awesome. The striped paper makes everything pop. And then there's the wonderful simplicity of your third card. Love that, too! Thanks for sharing in our Leave it to Me challenge at Double D!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Autumn cards, Greta! I love the felt flower with the stripes in got background, stunning cards today!
ReplyDeleteA trio of loveliness Greta! The embossing on your first card is extra pretty and I like your sweet felt bloom on the second. The last is wonderfully CAS!
ReplyDeleteA fabulous set of cards Greta. I love the designs and color choices and those stripes...thanks for sending the die cuts intact...you've inspired me.
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely creative cards and I especially love the Noel with the felt poinsettias...so stylish and striking it looks in the white red and black combo

Of course they all look great...BUT...the Rudolph one is my fave!
ReplyDeleteIt has such a fun and modern feel. The felt flower keeps it so modern looking and loving the 3 deep NOEL.
Thanks for taking part in the October Rudolph Days Challenge.
Gorgeous cards - and you've reminded me it's far too long since I used that leaf folder. My favourite is that super bold, eye catching Christmas card
