Here's a card made with PTI Friendly Flowers. I've never used the dies without the matching stamps, but I wanted to enter the challenge to create a card with blended flowers. 
Actually, I love how it turned out! The background Scalloped Stackers: Large die cut is from my friend, Vikki. The inks are Sweet Blush, Pale Peony, Melon Berry & Spring Moss. I did use dot stamps from Harvest Berries for the flower centers. The PTI sentiment die was cut from vellum & Classic Kraft. I double clear embossed the letters to make them stand out more. Love the KaiserCraft Chino pearls I've had forever!
Next is the card I made for the challenge to make a friend card with different patterns. I used some very old 12x12 sheets of MME Wild Asparagus designer paper--so beautiful! 
Feathered Friends 8 is so sweet & easy to assemble. I did a bit of ink blending on the head & tail. 
The sentiment is from Wildflower Garden & the tag is also PTI. I stamped leaves from Bold Blooms on the solid panel using Versamark.
Love how it's open at one end. I used these inks: PTI Berry Sorbet & Aqua Mist, MFT Peach Bellini & C9 Clover & Grapefruit. I added a Gina Marie die cut panel & a woodgrain vellum PTI die cut frame to a panel of Soft Stone. Then I mounted the frame stacked 3 high & embellished with a sparkle pen. The sentiment from another Pigment stamp set called Cup of Happy was stamped in Versafine Clair Morning Mist & the tiny black hearts are Gina K.
Recently I learned to heat my laminator at least 20 minutes before using it for foiling. I did have much better results & here's a card I made for May Rudolph Days. 
I used gold foil on a striped Gina K toner sheet for the background. The MFT poinsettia was die cut from a plain toner sheet & foiled with beautiful red & green Gina K specialty foils. Wish you could see it in person as it changes in the light. 
The SSS toner sentiment strip is also gold foiled & I used gold sequins to finish it off. It's not 100% perfect, but I'll still be sending it this year. I'm also entering The Snippets Playground (red cardstock scraps) & SSS Wednesday.
Wow, you've been busy! These are all so pretty, Greta. Each one as fabulous as the next. I love the card with the bird and pretty PP! Enjoy your holiday weekend!

another set of truly Greta cards. The soft colors and lovely designs make for fabulous cards.
ReplyDeleteThese are so pretty, Greta. I remember Wild Asparagus papers and still have some, I'm sure. The bird is so sweet with those soft colors. I just saw on the news about your heat. Whew, stay in and make cards!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous card Greta! I'm really interested to see the lovely results from using toner sheets for foiling, I recently bought a few items by Gina K as well as Deco Foil to be able to do foiling using my laminating machine. Your poinsettia card is fabulous!
