I love green & gold for Christmas cards, so pulled out Brilliance Pearlescent Ivy & Delicata Golden Glitz to make a couple cards for the
Twofer Holiday Greenery challenge. My greenery images are from PTI Spruce & Sprigs. Here are the 2 cards together.
My first card started by stamping the old DeNami sentiment in Versafine Clair Nocturne on a white card. Then I stamped the holly & berry branch in opposite corners.
Finished with Altenew black ink spray splatters & rounded the corners. I'm also entering
Time Out.
My second card uses the same green & gold inks (even though they don't look the same) along with the same PTI stamp set. But this card is vanilla, the sentiment is Altenew & I added a couple more of the Spruce & Sprig images to go with the holly & berry branch.
I die cut the thin SSS frame from my panel & inlaid the gold inked frame stacked 2 high. This time I added green splatters & gold sequins. I'm also entering
CAS on Friday,
Stamping Sensations &
WAW.
Thanks so much for taking time to stop by. If your blog address is in your profile or comment, I will visit you.
Two beautiful cards Greta. Both cards are really incredible.
ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely Holly stamp Greta and the rounded edges on one card give a lovely soft feel. Many thanks for joining in our Traditional Christmas Colours theme at Stamping Sensations challenge.

These are so pretty, Greta. I love the holly and greenery at the bottom of the second card and the gold frame.
ReplyDeleteboth cards are beauties but really love the second one.
ReplyDeleteTwo wonderful cards. I love te touches of gold. Thanks for playing at Time Out.
ReplyDeleteI'm nuts about holly and need to get this one. I just love those leaves! They really look pretty as off-the-edge stamping on both your cards, Greta! Just rounding the corners of your first card adds a lot of interest! And I love how you cut and inlaid and framed a rectangle panel in your second card! The cream is gorgeous! Thank you so much for playing in Twofer Card Challenge #22! Happy Thanksgiving!! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteFab twofer, Greta! Just love how you made the holly shine on both cards!!
ReplyDeleteGreta, your first card is so pretty with the pointy edges of the holly leaves contrasting with the rounded corners of your card. Your second card with that two stacked high skinny frame is fabulous. Wonderfully different designs, thanks so much for playing along at Twofer Card Challenge #22.

Wow, love these! That spruce color, and the thin gold frame on your second card -- so warm and beautiful. Just give me a nature-themed card, sigh... Thanks for playing with us at Twofer, Greta!
ReplyDeleteOh I love these Greta... I love those stamps!!
ReplyDeleteSimplicity at it's finest. Both cards are inspiring and I especially like the the gold border on the cream card. So interesting to note the different looks achieved by changing the card stock from white to cream
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your HM!
ReplyDeleteI love the Holly on both cards and the pretty frame on the second card! Wonderful ideas!
