I love foil, but seems like a long time since I've used mine. Teal seems to be my go-to color right now & that's the foil I used on the Memory Box Grand Heart die cut from self adhesive fun foam.
It's neat how the foil looks different depending on the light. It is gorgeous in person! MB Bingham Heart was die cut from white cardstock & brushed with a shimmer pen.
Didn't want to cover up the beautiful focal point, so just added the little sentiment from Poppystamps Grateful Heart stamp set. I'm entering

At the same time I made
this card based on my skirt, I stamped & embossed a second panel with Penny Black blissful. I used white pigment ink & a satin embossing powder for this one.
The edge was die cut with a PPP die & I also used it on a red cardstock scrap. I attached the red piece behind the panel & covered it with Christmas Red Stickles--beautifully sparkly in person.
The sentiment is MFT & I also added dots of the Stickles to the centers of the blooms. I'm entering

My 3rd card is another non-traditional Valentine going to a blogging friend. Back to teal & gray--haha! The inks are PTI Hawaiian Shores, Tropical Teal & Weathervane which I used to stamp the images from Gina K Mini Wreath Builder.
The sentiment from the Gina K/Hero Arts collaboration set was stamped in Versafine Clair Nocturne. I added some tiny black & white dots before matting the square with black cardstock. The dry embossed dots panel was still on my table after it didn't work for a previous card. Seemed to be just the right thing for this one, so I cut it down, added a strip of the striped paper & covered the seam with white crochet thread. The wreath panel was mounted with foam tape. Fun to make a smaller card for a change. Plus--I think the 3 little dots stamp will work as a replacement for the Uniko Wreath dots I lost! I'm entering

I came over to have a closer look at the card you made for Inkspirational. That is a great design and shape for a large patterned stamp. I really like the effect of the glittery red strip. Thanks for joining our challenge at Ink!
ReplyDeleteEach one is SO different, but that doesn't take away the beauty on each, such a gorgeous result in all of the cards, love your grey one and it's shaped bottom.

What a lovely die, very beautiful card Greta! Thanks for joining us this February at Die Cut Divas.
ReplyDeleteStunning cards Greta - I've rummaged around and got my heart die out; it's the same as yours and it hasn't had an airing for a long time. Stunning on the shimmery teal. Love the flair and panache of the black and white card with the sweep of red and the tiny blooms on the last card. Fabulous all round. My Mojo has been MIA, but now you've inspired me to get cracking. Thank you. x

ReplyDeleteThat skirt inspired card is even more fabulous in person. Thank you sweet friend.
ReplyDeleteStunning strip of glitz Greta! Love the movement and your embossing is gorgeous! Thank you for joining us at INkspirational~
ReplyDeleteSo many gorgeous cards!! Teal is one of my favourite colours. I loved your card as soon as I saw it and then when I read it was foiled and saw the second photo, I fell in love again!! Your design is so intricate but keeping it simple with no embellishments and patterns makes it so modern. And the white against the teal is stunning. So very glad you joined us at TIME OUT!
ReplyDeleteSuch eye candy! I love that gray beauty, Greta. And the foiled heart is so pretty with the white frame.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Love the embossed background! Thank you so much for playing along with this months Monthly Mix Challenge at Gina K. Designs!
