First up is truly a snippets card which I'm entering at The Snippets Playground. I had a few little strips of LF plaid paper left over from a project & just couldn't throw them out. I saw a card using this Stamplorations stencil & it inspired me to make a funky, graphic Christmas tree.
Next is another entry for the Pinkfresh December challenge, if more than 1 is allowed. Again I used the PF Delicate Wreath stamp set, but this time I made a Christmas thank you card.
My second thank you card is my entry for the Altenew Year in Review Challenge. I missed the November challenge with beautiful pinks & green, so that was my inspiration. I also wanted to use the stamp/die set I recently got with a gc--Floral Frame.
The branches were stamped in PTI Ripe Avocado & colored with Prima Confections green watercolor. I white embossed the bouquet & mixed Prima Confections watercolors to get as close as I could to the pinks in the photo. The sentiment from the set was stamped in Versafine Clair Acorn & I added brown splatters with a Zig. I don't use a lot of foam tape these days, but did use it to add the die cut bouquet. Decided against embellishments & just added Star Dust Stickles to the little berries. Think this set was a good choice--so pretty & versatile. I'm also entering Allsorts & WAW.
Edited to add: Entering Virginia's Show & Share.

Love love love these! From the beautiful laurel wreath to the darling tree - they are just stunning! Don't you wish Christmas in the craftroom could last all year? I think I might have to give Christmas in July a try this year! lol
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous trio of cards Greta. I like that you are continuing the Christmas theme. Sometimes think, that immediately after Christmas, when the festivities are done and dusted, would be a good time to make the cards for next year. Especially like the funky tree.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful card, thank you for joining our DT Call at CAS on Friday ;)
ReplyDeleteLove that wreath card - so simple, but perfect! Thanks so much for playing along with the Pinkfresh Studio December Challenge!
