Almost the end of the month which means some challenges are about to close, so I made 3 cards.
First is my second entry for the
Pinkfresh July Challenge. I only have 1 PF die right now which I used for last month's challenge & for my first July entry. This time I wanted to make something very different by only using the letters from Hello with a Bouquet.
I started by white heat embossing the geometric image from the PF Felicity stamp set. Then I mixed Color Burst powders Ultramarine Blue & Pthalo Green with water & a drop of Liquid Pixie Dust. I used a flat brush to paint over the embossing, alternating stripes of color. I die cut the letters & mounted them with foam tape to a circle I stamped with with other images in the stamp set using VersaMagic Pink Petunia.
I sponged a little of the ink around the edge & added clear confetti. Fun to make a circle card for a change. I'm also entering
SSS Monday &
WAW.
Next is my first card made with Ellen Hutson Mondo Holly & Altenew watercolor markers.
I can't wait to try the markers again. The embossing powder is SSS Rose Gold & the sentiment is from the same stamp set. I added splatters with Tsukineko Rose Gold Shimmer Spritz & Altenew Black ink spray. I'm entering
Rudolph Days & SSS IG Challenge.
Last is my entry for the
July Poppystamps challenge. The only PS animal product I have is the Serene Rabbit die, so I decided to make an Easter card.
I die cut PS Happy Easter Curve from the card front & inlaid the words. Lawn Fawn plaid paper was attached to show in the open areas & the same paper was used for the rabbit. I also die cut the rabbit from fun foam so it would stand out a bit more & brushed it with a shimmer pen. The dots are Wedding Dress Pico Embellisher drops & I added a tiny black gem for the eye.
Thanks so much for taking time to stop by. If your blog address is in your profile or comment, I will visit you.
Three beautiful cards Greta. Your round card is very cleverly done, your holly card is a perfect Christmas card and just adore your little plaid bunny Easter card.
ReplyDeleteI am drooling over your Rudolph Challenge entry. That water coloured image is fabulous, Greta. I have not seen that sentiment stamp before...it is certainly a keeper!

I'm smitten with your Easter card. So clever how the pattern paper is peeking through the die cut!
