No White Space!
75 years ago today my folks were married in downtown Indianapolis. My mom was only 18 years old & wanted out of the house. My grandparents were about to divorce & I'm sure it wasn't a happy place. Luckily, it turned out she married a wonderful man! Miss them both.
I was determined to get a card made for the Winnie & Walter Color Challenge & boy did it turn out colorful--haha!
I began by making the plaid panel using Scenery: Stripes and Distress Inks fired brick, festive berries, victorian velvet & fossilized amber. The die cuts from In Bloom: Frenchy's Festive Florals were stamped in the same inks.
I added gold Stickles to the flower centers & gently lifted up the ends. Decided not to add a sentiment--will just write a message inside. I'm also entering CropStop & SSS Wednesday. Thanks so much for taking time to stop by.

What a gorgeous card Greta! The plaid panel is such a wonderful background for the foliage and florals. Is the background a stamp set? Very clever!

ReplyDeleteyour plaid background is so effective with those pretty flowers - the white leaves are just enough with the oranges and reds - very pretty - i would never have the guts to do a card in those bright colors and you've pulled it off wonderfully!

ReplyDeleteA wonderfully vibrant card Greta. How clever you are to make the background yourself! I'm sure I'd make a hash of it, if I attempted such a thing. Can't imagine how you get everything lined up so perfectly. Lovely to read about your parents too and the happy lives they had together. TFS
