I had such fun making this week's card for PTI CAWU. Lizzie's second card on Day 2 immediately caught my eye. I used the die from Don't Forget to Write to make my Soft Stone card base.
Then I lightly traced a heart & stamped images from Make It Market Garden Gild in PTI inks Blueberry Sky, Spring Rain, Lovely Lady, Lilac Grace & Vintage Jadeite. The sentiment is from Lovely Leaves. I added some tiny Wedding Dress Pico Embellisher dots--so much easier for me to use than Nuvo Drops.
I always mean to enter the Altenew monthly challenges, but usually I don't. For the Year in Review challenge I picked November's inspiration. Layered Laurel stamp set was on my wishlist forever, so when I won a gift certificate a few months ago I finally got it.
Instead of a Christmas card, I made a winter birthday card using several green inks & red Stickles for berries. Clearly I'm drawn to fresh, clean designs as here's another CAS one layer card. Almost added some splatters, but decided not to this time. I'm also entering SSS Monday & Stamping Sensations.
Thanks so much for taking time to stop by. If your blog address is in your profile or comment, I will visit you.
Your ink colors on the soft heart card are so pretty, Greta. What a beautiful recreation of Lizzie's card! The variety of greens on the laurel branches adds nice depth on the second card. Another beautiful blog post!

Years ago I used to participate in challenges but then life caught up with me... I am soon leaving work (for a while at least) so am slowly starting to participate again. Such fun! I love your take on the November challenge, Greta!
