I really love the beautiful Fall colors of the
Altenew Inspiration Challenge. Thought it'd be fun to use my new Wonderful Wreath Stencil instead of flowers.
Hubby just gave me a stack of beige text weight paper left over from years ago when we were sending out his resume. It has a slight linen texture & is really nice quality. The inks are PTI Amethyst Allure & Canyon Clay & Memento Lulu Lavender. Altenew Fancy Hello die is beautiful & I die cut it from the same paper & from white cardstock. Shimmer Pico Embellisher was added to the berries & the die cut word. I die cut the panel with AJVD dotted rectangle & used Amethyst Allure cardstock for the mat. The purple twine has been in my stash a long time & never used, but luckily it was the right color. I'm also entering
WAW.
The current
Time Out Challenge has a fun photo inspiration. I really like the off-set stripes of the carpet, so decided to make my own off-set pattern.
I used a little circle image in the Grateful Heart Poppystamps set. Tried to use my Mini MISTI, but ended up just using an acrylic block. I really love Brilliance Graphite Black--stamps beautifully! The sentiment from the same set was stamped in Brilliance Gamma Green & I added a dot of green Stickles to the center of each circle. Fun little card to make! I'm also entering

Both are gorgeous, Greta. You know how much I love your wreaths, and the second card is really elegant. I love your green sentiment. Hugs, my friend.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards Greta. Love the black and white,its quite eye catching. Your wreath is lovely as well.
ReplyDeleteOh, your wreath is just lovely and I like that it flows off the edge of the card! Awesome stripes too. That little circle image had a kaleidoscope effect!
