| Old Card |
Ink blending a masked area & stamping a solid image is one of my favorite techniques. I thought it would be great for a sympathy card. I used the same basic design as the old card & the same die from Don't Forget to Write. For the new card I used Soft Stone cardstock & stamped the leaves.

| New Card |
As soon as I saw the April challenge at WCMC9, I planned to make a card with my unopened Floral Fill-In Stencils & paper pack. Yesterday I finally made my card just before the deadline & entered it via IG. The papers are a large square so you can get 2 cards from one piece. Here's the card I entered into the challenge using VersaMagic Pixie Dust & Pink Petunia inks.
Today I finished a card using the rest of the piece. For this one I inked in DO picked raspberry & used Faber-Castel glass bead paste with the details stencil.
The edge was cut with a SSS die & the sentiment is from C&9 Flourish stamp set. I'm entering SSS Wednesday. Thanks so much for taking time to stop by.
all such pretty cards, Greta - both the original and the remake of your PTI cards are equally as nice - and must get out my floral fill-in kit - you've inspired me...!!
ReplyDeleteI love both designs of your remake! The original was lovely... but the updated really POPS a tad more... and I love the paper on your other 2 cards! Beautiful floral paper and colors...

ReplyDeleteGreta, all the cards are fabulous. I still love your original so peaceful. When I saw your remake on IG, I was wowed! YOur C&9th design is fabulous- love that edge. I just picked up some of that glass bead paste...thanks for reminding me to try it out.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards Greta. Love your redo card. So elegant. Love the C&9 cards. Great way to use your stamped panel.
ReplyDeleteWell, I can't pick between your TT cards as they are both beautiful in their colors and design. Good for you to pick up another challenge! Your C&9 cards are pretty, especially like the vibrant pink in the second one.
ReplyDeleteThree wonderful cards. I am in love with that scalloped card base die. I just checked PTI but can not find it anymore. Too bad as it is so lovely.
ReplyDeleteThe second card has that fabulous die on the angle. Brilliant idea!
And the third carry forward that design.
Great work, Greta!
