Sketches are not always easy for me to use, but I love the current one for FMS. I had an unused sentiment strip on my table made from a W&W die. I pulled out the kraft & bronze paper pack I'd used & here's what I came up with.I've seen other people fussy cut images from patterned paper, so decided to cut 3 leaves from the leftover scrap. I added a black Pico Embellisher dot to each one.
The sentiment is from a Christmas die set, but really I think it works year round.
Next is my tag for Day 3 of Tracey's 25 Days of Christmas Tags. The berry branch on Laurie's tag reminded me of the beautiful Penny Black Holly Berries die.
I cut it from wc paper smooshed with 3 green Distress Inks & added Christmas Red Stickles to the berries.
I trimmed the tag from a panel of white cardstock. The sentiment is from Winnie & Walter--sure miss that company.
I don't make many scenes, but today I had fun making one on a tag! I was inspired by Lindsey's tags on Day 5 of the 25 Days of Christmas Tags.
Totally love the color combo of black, white & kraft! I cut the Stamplorations tag from Classic Kraft, the SSS Village images from black scraps & the MFT Snow Drifts from white scraps. I backed the windows with black cardstock brushed with a shimmer pen, stamped the Winnie & Walter sentiment & added snow with a gel pen. I'm also entering SSS Monday & SSS Flickr 162.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful work Greta. I love the Kraft and shimmer for Christmas; understated yet so classy. The tag is charming with its delicate foliage and the snowy scene is a fun take on the Season. Inspiring Art. Although I'm a fan of traditional colours at Christmas, I love the monochromatic style you created.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful card Greta, this shimmer on the paper is so pretty! Love your tags too. Love the way you were inspired!
ReplyDeleteLovely card and tags, Greta! Love the gold shine and pretty leaves on the card! A very pretty tag with the berry branch! And, the tags with the Black and Tan color are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWhat awesome projects today Greta. Love them all.
ReplyDeleteWhat a treat to see so many fabulous creations in one post! You put such special touches on each one - the three trimmed out leaves, the amazing smooshed greens (so beautiful!), the glitter on windows of the houses. Love, love, love! (PS I'm so delighted I was able to inspire you in some way.)
ReplyDeleteAmazing results on all 3, card and tags, beautiful touches that up them to another level, wonderful work Greta as always.

love it all, Greta - what a great way to use that kraft and copper pp, the black ribbon is the perfect accent for the holly tag and the black, white and kraft tag is just elegant!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cut leaves on that pretty card. Great tags and a cute scene you created. I don't have Covid, thank goodness. My SU gal quit having classes because of it back in February so I don't have anyone to craft with. Wanna visit?
