I've had an idea for a card to enter in the W&W Four Challenge & finally gave it a try. You know how I love making Christmas cards, so I'm a happy camper!
Edited to add: Almost forgot to enter W&W Die Challenge.
Next is an anniversary card I'm entering at Die Cut Divas & Poppystamps. I recently won the new PS die called Triple Heart Twirl & had to try it out.
Using simple partial die cutting I got a row of 5 hearts which I backed with a very sparkly silver glitter paper scrap laying on my table.
I mounted it with foam tape to a card front covered with blue cardstock. The sentiment is from a very old well-loved Hero Arts stamp set called Find Joy. I really like the look of clear embossing powder over Delicata Silvery Shimmer ink. Three PPP Sparkling Clear sequins were added for embellishment. I'm also entering The Snippets Playground & Stamplorations. Thanks so much for taking time to stop by.

Happy that your on the mend Greta! Both of your cards are so pretty! Love all the shimmer and shine!
ReplyDeleteYour Noel card is beautiful, especially like that WOS!!! Feel for you on forgetting to open it before the die cut. You try to so many clever techniques; it's inspiring. Nice to be home but we're on the road Saturday to PDX for Jim's next bird watching trip to Vietnam.
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy you are doing so much better. I love the look of those raised glittery letters on the Noel card with all the detail. You really made good use of the die you won at PS. That is a gorgeous card. I think it is time you visited your cousin. I'm sure they are missing you terribly and you should not deprive them of a visit.
ReplyDeleteGreat cards Brenda! Love the cute lil stitched hearts..adorable card!
ReplyDeleteLove both these cards Greta! The Christmas card is really lovely and of course I adore your snippets card. Wonderful how you used those hearts - I think you did something clever to extend the die cut?
ReplyDeleteGald to hear you're feeling better and it's lovely to see you in the Playground!
Hugs

Two lovely cards Greta! I am glad to hear you are feeling well, nothing worse than not feeling well in the winter. I received you beautiful thank you card the other day. Hope Fritz got some snow to play in, we have had a mild spell this week and about half of our snow is gone--but we still have plenty left!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you are better Greta..two wonderful cards you have created.
