I've seen some cards with embossed crosses & decided to make one without having a die. I just cut 2 strips of white cardstock & embossed them with an old Cuttlebug folder. 
I trimmed the pieces until I thought it looked good. The center of the card front was lightly brushed with DO speckled egg. MFT Blue Skies wool felt is a pretty good match. I die cut 3 flowers from PTI Gathered Garden & 3 circles for each center. The Impression Obsession sentiment was stamped in Versafine Clair Morning Mist. This one went to my sister & I'm entering SSS Monday & SSS Wednesday.
Next is my entry for the current ITP PTI What Do I Do With This challenge to use embossing powder. My good friend, Rosemary, made a gorgeous card with pink cardstock & Rose Gold foil. That gave me the idea to stamp & emboss with SSS Rose Gold ep on PTI Friendly Flowers die cut from Sweet Blush cardstock. Just love the look! 
The leaves were die cut from Weathervane cardstock & stamped in Smokey Shadow. The background is ITP Herringbone cover plate & the sentiment from ITP Just Sentiments: Hugs was die cut with 2 PTI banner dies. 
The top flower was attached with foam & I added PPP Rose Gold sequins. I'm also entering The Snippets Playground (the blooms were all cut from scraps of Sweet Blush cardstock) & SSS Wednesday via IG.
Edited to add: Also entering Time Out Challenges.
Last is my entry for the current ITP PTI The Great Cover-Up challenge. I've been wanting to make a pastel rainbow, so that's what I did by lightly brushing on Distress Oxides kitsch flamingo, spiced marmalade, squeezed lemonade, cracked pistachio, speckled egg & shaded lilac. 
I die cut the panel with the inside die from PTI Scalloped Stackers: Small, rounded the corners & splattered with HS white Color Shine. When it was dry I white embossed the flower from PTI Wildflower Garden & stamped the sentiment in Weathervane. 
I added some pink & white sequins for embellishment. I'm also entering Retro Rubber (stamp set I've had at least 2 years) SSS Wednesday via IG & WAW.
Beautiful Happy Easter

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the precious photo of you and your Sister. I recall being dressed like that for church, especially the gloves. All your cards are inspiring. Love the soft colour behind the cross on the first card. The middle one is outstanding with all the different layers and textures. You round out the collection with a gorgeous spring card, so pretty with the pastel rainbow. x
ReplyDeleteLovely memories for you Greta, I'm an only one but always longed for siblings. A super array of creations today, probably my favourite the rainbow background with the resist stamping.

Thanks for sharing the picture of you and your sister, how cute you both look. Three pretty special cards here but the one that is most special for me is your second, I think it is absolutely stunning, well done. Brilliant ink blending on your last card too xx

ReplyDeleteLove your card. The soft rainbow colors are beautiful. Thank you for joining us at Retro Rubber Challenge Blog!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards Greta! I really love your nippets one - very striking. And what a sweet photo - I also had white gloves and a pretty hat for Easter. In fact, thinking about it they were sort of fine crochet, and I also had grey ones. Winter meant kid gloves in grey or tan. You stirred up some memories there!
