On to my cards. Here's my entry for Challenge #1 Diecutting & Challenge #8 Sympathy. I used my Mini MISTI to stamp Delicate Wreath so I could use a couple Distress Oxides: spiced marmalade & peeled paint. 
I just stamped each color several times until I had the look I wanted. I used the matching dies & attached the wreath to a panel of textured green cardstock, just the right shade. I don't have a PFS sympathy sentiment, so I used one from Reverse Confetti. 
It's stamped in Versafine Clair Acorn & clear embossed on a doubled vellum strip. I don't use bling on sympathy cards, but I like the subtle clear Pico Embellisher dots. I'm also entering Double D.
Next is my entry for Challenge #4 Monochromatic Colors. I used my new PFS Layered Snowflakes dies & a sentiment from Classic Holiday Words.
Thought these 2 shades of blue textured cardstock would be perfect. I also used the light blue for the words shadow & silver glitter tape for the words. 
A dot of silver Stickles was added to the center of each snowflake & I rounded the corners. Can't wait to make more cards with these beautiful snowflakes that also have shadows. I'm also entering NBUS & SSS Wednesday.
My final card is for Challenge #10 Watercolor & Challenge #12 Florals. I've made a lot of cards with the Hello with a Bouquet die, but not in Autumn colors. I die cut watercolor paper & used 3 colors of Prima Confections watercolors. The colors are a lot more vivid in real life. 
I used 2 scraps of kraft cardstock over the letters of the die, clear embossed one set & attached them to the other. The colored die cut was attached to a kraft card & then I glued the letters in place.
Finished off with brown sequins. I'm also entering WAW.

A gorgeous wreath for your sympathy card and I love the snowflakes against the blue card stock. The hello is so shiny, it looks like it was cut in gold mirror. It will be so nice to see family and you are taking great precautions. Stay safe. Cases here are on the rise again.

ReplyDeleteLovely set of cards, Greta! The sympathy card is so soft and serene! Love the icy blue on the second and the autumnal colors of the third one. Hope you didn't have the pouring rain and winds that we are having!
ReplyDeleteWonderful sympathy card with its soft colors and tucked in sentiment. The snowflakes are lovely in light blue. You need to create a picture board with all of the cards you've created with the Hello die cut. Each has been a treat to see. Enjoy your visit and relax! Fresh air and spacing should help loads.

A lovely collection of cards Greta. The wreath stamped in two different colours is lovely. The blue is gorgeous with the snowflakes and the hello card is just fabulous. I've enjoyed all the cards you've created with that die. So much so, that I've ordered one for myself. It's taking months to get here though! Hope your garage/lounge is warm and cosy for your guests.
