Still lots of products listed in my for sale pages.
Penny Black was one of the first companies I was introduced to when I started stamping. I still have a huge collection--many wood mounted. My CAS birthday card was inspired by
AAA where the theme is one corner & option of using older stamps.
It's been awhile since I used Verdant from 2013 & I paired it with a sentiment from 2004 that I often use. I was also inspired by the JUGS color challenge of Black, Gold, Cream--but didn't make the deadline. Luckily I still have my old fashioned stamp positioner which I used to get a heavy inking of Delicata Golden Glitz--beautiful shimmer in person. The positioner also allowed me to position the sentiment just where I wanted it, although it just took 1 inking with Versafine Clair Nocturne. I'm also entering
PBSC &
SSS Wednesday.
Next is my entry for
Poppystamps February Challenge. Luckily it says you qualify using just 1 animal. The Easter Bunny Egg die is so cute, but I don't think it necessarily has to just be for Easter.
I used Scribble Hello & little alpha stickers for the sentiment. I may add an Easter sentiment inside or just send it as a springy hello card. I did a tiny bit of coloring with markers & a white gel pen to match the LF plaid panel.
The pink background was embossed with a very old herringbone folder. Amazing what a different look you get compared to leaving it plain. I added yellow Stickles to the flowers, black Pico Embellisher to the die cut word & a bow from white embroidery thread. I'm also entering
DRU,
SSS Wednesday &
Virginia's Show & Share.

Both cards are beautiful, Greta. But I am impressed with the elegance of the simplicity of your first card. Kisses, my friend.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful CAS first card and always great to use older craft goodies. Adorable Bunny card and the herringbone texture looks great. Lovely idea to use it as a Spring card x.
ReplyDeletetwo great cards, Greta - love the simplicity of your first card and that little bunny card is adorable!
ReplyDeletePerfect CAS on the first card, Greta, and the bunny is too cute! Every time I see your posts I'm inspired to create. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteLove the simplicity of the first one Greta, it speaks volumes! And that bunny is adorable!
ReplyDeleteLoving the pinks of the second card Greta, but the elegance of the first probably just tips it for me and of course because it's PB, like you they were some of the first stamps I ever bough. way back in the 90's and treasure my wood mounted ones.
