First is the one for my BIL which uses the Altenew Pegboard Canvas die & a pattern from cathycarlson21 on IG. She did a rainbow pattern, but I think he will prefer the blue & green.
I also used silver for the eyes instead of black. It took me awhile, but I really enjoy combining cross stitch with cardmaking. The Impression Obsession sentiment die cut was mounted on a strip of vellum. Cathy also has some Christmas patterns I plan to use.
I used my new GK stamp set called A Happy Hello to make a card for the GK Monthly Mix: White Space. The inks are PTI Enchanted Evening, Blueberry Sky, Spring Rain & Stormy Sky.
The July/August Uniko challenge, In My Garden, is about to end. Finally, I got a card made using the optional twist of Hot Summer Colors. I've seen several cards made with only 1 layer of a layering floral stamp set. Uniko's Beautiful Blooms III has just the right image with the thicker lines.
Thanks so much for taking time to stop by. If your blog address is in your profile or comment, I will visit you.
Three very different cards Greta, the design of the stamp on the first is so unusual and lends itself to male card, a very elegant CAS rose card and a DL one which is a shape I really like and don't utilise half enough.

A varied collection of unusual cards today. Love the stitched masculine card, especially the colour combo. The clean lines of the middle card are lovely and the sentiment is absolutely lovely. Finally I like the hot colours and the circle motif for your Just a note card. So inspiring as always Greta.

ReplyDeleteThese are all so beautiful, Greta! Well done! I am particularly in love with the one you shared at NBUS (thank you!) with all that wonderful white space and the fabulous monochrome blue hues you used! I hope it's cooled off up there. It's bad here. Hugs, Darnell
