I chose the colors from the JUGs challenge & used direct to paper with the ink cubes for the September GK Monthly Mix challenge. I stamped the leafy branch from GK A Happy Hello in opposite directions, lining it up to appear as a single image. 
The embossing powder is SSS Antique Gold. I stamped the sentiment from the same set in Versafine Clair pinecone & added HA ombre sequins my friend, Betty, gave me years ago.
Beautiful card Greta, I love the CAS design. xx

ReplyDeleteWhat a perfect combination of challenges to inspired you to make this fabulous card.
ReplyDeleteOh, I love how you have stamped the squares and overlaid it with the leaf. I thought you had done some masking until I scrolled and saw the gold embossing. What a great look this is. And I love the little sequins too! A fantastic card! Thanks for joining us at Freshly Made Sketches.
ReplyDeleteA beautiful CAS card with lovely color, Greta!! Lovely gold embossing with the leaf!! And, great touch with the sequins!!
ReplyDeleteA fab take on the challenge Greta. Love the gold embossing over the squares. I meant to enter this, but in a wink and a blink the deadline came and went!!
ReplyDeleteFabulous CAS creation Greta, I really should take the step to be brave enough to go down that route, unfortunately I start with all good intentions and then the inks come out.

I love that idea of using ink cubes to color block a background, Greta. It looks wonderful in our challenge colors and the gold leaves really add shine and dimension. Thanks for sharing your card with us at Just Us Girls
ReplyDeletePretty fall colors and using the cubes is such an easy design. Great card, Greta.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea for using the cubes, Greta - love the colors and the leafy sprig!!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful card Greta. Love the simplicity and elegance.
ReplyDeleteGreta... what a brilliantly simple approach to the FMS sketch! I don't have any cubes but still don't think I would have thought of it. Love the effect! AND the colors are perfect for JUGS. Thank you so much for joining and sharing at Just Us Girls this week.
ReplyDeleteBeautifully CAS with the prettiest of colours and many congratulations with the shout out over at FMS x.
ReplyDeleteI have seen so many brilliant cards using that sketch in the last few days and yours is no exception. simply, but perfect xx
ReplyDeleteI loved Cecile's sketch but didn't get the time to use it sadly :( You've done a great job though Greta! I love the colours and the embossed leaf - clever the way you extended that - and I really like the way your sequins reflect the colours of the squares they're next to! Vicky x
ReplyDeleteSo very good, Greta! I think that maybe I'll send you money for supplies and you can stamp for me! LOL
ReplyDeleteSimply stunning Greta!
