So glad ITP has another
Melissa's Fab Friday challenge. The "hello" theme is perfect right now since I'm mailing lots of cards to friends. I have a pack of Fine Linen cardstock that I've barely used, so I started by die cutting a panel with ITP Border Bling: Tin Stitch.
Then I browsed my PTI color combos to get some ideas & pulled out my PTI cardstock scraps. I used several PTI Gathered Garden dies with Enchanted Evening, Aqua Mist, Ocean Tides, Melon Berry & Sweet Blush. I arranged the bouquet, added a blue twine bow, stamped the sentiment from PTI Scripted in Enchanted Evening & added Shimmer Pico Embellisher. The Enchanted Evening mat made a big difference & only increased the card size 1/4 inch. I'm also entering

Next is my homework for the
Altenew Academy Quick & Simple Cards, Day 6. We were to score a frame--something I like to do. After I made the frame, I stamped the sentiment from Altenew Handpicked Bouquet in Versafine Vintage Sepia & added little splatters of DI peeled paint.
Instead of coloring & die cutting a flower like Laurie did, I finally used the Altenew Painted Fantasy Washi I got on sale along with coordinating dies. Isn't it beautiful? Finished off with Shimmer Pico Embellisher dots. I'm also entering

Just in case you're wondering, the Corona Virus is NOT 99% harmless. How is it we legislate that clothes must be worn in public, but legislating the wearing of masks in public is a violation of our rights? Sad, depressing time in this country. Very grateful for crafting & my crafting friends.
Thanks so much for taking time to stop by. If your blog address is in your profile or comment, I will visit you.

So pretty, Greta! That washi is tempting more and more. My husband and I are still religiously wearing the mask, too.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card designs and great colors.
ReplyDeleteboth cards are so pretty! love your sweet little floral arrangement on the first one!
ReplyDeleteTwo lovely cards Greta. I like the Tin Stitch background for your bouquet. Clever work with the washi. I've never made a scored frame; another technique I'm keen to try. Keep well.
ReplyDeleteHow VERY Beautiful each card is, so different in colours and techniques, so very clever Greta.
ReplyDeleteTake care

Wow, these are beautiful, friend! I love how the second card looks like it could have taken days - I would have never known you didn't paint it! Such a stunning way to use washi designs!
ReplyDeleteyour cards are both so pretty Greta - especially love the washi tape one. how about another analogy - legislating wearing seat belts is ok and against the law not to wear them - and it's for the safety of everyone - and children in car seats also is legislated.
ReplyDeleteLOVE your cards, the first one is a very creative way to do a silhouette. Great take on the challenge, thank you so much for participating this week at the Mod Squad Challenge
