Actually, I like the distressed look. The Stamp Market Just Vine die was cut from copper & black cardstock. I stacked the leaves 3 high. 
For the sentiment I stacked the word die from W&W Big, Bold, Seasons 5 high, covered it with Nuvo Glaze & added a black shadow. The companion words from the same set were white embossed on black cardstock. Finished off with black enamel dots. I used the diagonal row of Die Cut, Free (foil), Fall.
Finally opened my Small Butterflies & gold embossed them. I picked one & colored it with the same Zigs. The green butterfly body was covered in gold Stickles. 
The sentiment from Delicate Wreath was stamped on a vellum strip & a black strip was added to the left side of the panel. I finished off with yellow gems that pick up the colors in the light.
Thanks so much for taking time to stop by. If your blog address is in your profile or comment, I will visit you.
Your Roses are looking good Greta as are your two cards, the chevrons on the first are so effective.

Just beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteLoving the copper foiling and yes I like it the look of it too. Such a pretty second card and both cards are wonderful Greta x.
ReplyDeleteI love the combination of copper and black and that vine is so pretty against the copper foil. What a great background of vines and berries for the gold butterfly. Two lovely cards and your rose is gorgeous. It's sad to see them go at the end of the season.
ReplyDeletelove your classy copper chevrons with the black leaves - such an elegant cards - and so pleased to see it in our TicTacToe challenge this week!

ReplyDeleteI like the distressed look too, Greta! I thought it was on purpose LOL! Two amazing cards and one amazing rose!
ReplyDeleteI too like that distressed look, Greta. Adds a lovely texture.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the distressed look of your foiling Greta, it's a gorgeous rich card. Your second is beautiful, love the different greens and mustard of the leaves and the vellum sentiment and the lovely butterfly. It's sad to see the end of the Summer flowers, but they seem to show off more somehow. This is a gorgeous rose Greta.
