I needed another card, so used my other idea to make stripes with images from Watercolor Wonder. I used the same blue inks for the flowers from The Sweet Life, but couldn't get them to look true in the picture. Actually they have more gray which I really like.
Keep forgetting to share a picture of my new favorite backyard bird.
Hi Greta your cards are beautiful ,well done my friend xx
ReplyDeleteI like the pretty shades of blue mixed with the shimmery silver! These are both pretty Greta. That's an amazing bird. My hubby would love to capture that one with his camera!
ReplyDeleteThe first card is so pretty, greta!! I think it would have worked perfectly for the PTI challenge. The second card is so elegant in those shades of blue and gray!!
ReplyDeleteWOW! Both cards are wonderful Greta! I LOVE the colors on both and the designs! Have a great day!

Smashing cards Greta, I love them both. The simplicity of the first with those fabulous diamond stripes is striking. Your second card with the blue roses and those gray paint stripes is a stunner for sure. Love that woodpecker...we get two kinds visiting the house a red bellied and downey woodpecker. I love seeing them, but in the spring I do not like them pecking on the gutter. One guy figured out he could make more noise and attract the females sitting on the rain gutter and pecking at about 6 am.
ReplyDeleteBoth of these are so pretty. I love the blue and gray together. I have to tell you I look forward to your posts to hear the colors of ink you use. The names are as great as your cards! Love the hairy woodpecker and how cool you were able to capture such a close up of him.
ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful cards, Greta! Just love the scalloped sentiment card and the stripes with flowers look amazing! Sweet woodpecker too - my parents get them in their woodsy yard too - so fun to watch!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards, as always, Greta. You are so talented, my friend. Kisses!
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are so gorgeous and in such wonderful colors.

Two great stripey cards! I would have thought that the striped frame was very creative and would work well for the challenge! Your watercolor stripes are a beautiful background for the gorgeous blue flowers!
ReplyDeleteLove your woodpecker! I saw a pileated one recently coming out of work. It was so low on the ground and didn't fly away even as my coworker turned on her card!
Your cards are fantastic! I don't bust out the don't forget to write stamp set enough either. Thanks for playing along at Word Art Wednesday.
