The lines are not all exactly the same, so I'm hoping this qualifies as a plaid pattern. I simply stamped in Distress Oxide kitsch flamingo twice at right angles on bright pink cardstock. Then I added silver lines with a ruler & a Gelly Roll Stardust pen. 
AJVD love die, another gift from my sweet friend, Rosemary, was die cut from the panel which I trimmed into a square. Soon I'll show you what I did with the love die cut. I matted the plaid with a slightly larger black square. It needed some pizzazz, so I filled the letters with Shimmer Pico Embellisher--so pretty in person. The sentiment is from PTI Scripted, the dots are black Pico Embellisher & the tiny heart is Gina K. I'm entering Just Us Girls.
I wanted to make one more card for the PFS January challenge. This time I used the September theme of leaves & greenery. I began by black embossing PFS Lush Vines. Then I did loose watercoloring with Zigs & a water brush.

The splatters are green & silver. I wanted something a little different, so die cut EH Hex Frames from the panel, plus a few more from black cardstock so I could stack the solid cuts 3 high. For the background, I did a watercolor wash & the same splatters. Really like the old WRMK 3D Geometric embossing folder used with black cardstock to cover the card front. The branches from PFS Dainty Blossoms were covered with silver glitter Nuvo Drops--so sparkly in person! 
I added silver thread behind the sentiment from PFS Delicate Wreath & wrapped the thread around the stems. Finished off with black Pico Embellisher dots. I'm also entering SSS Wednesday.

ReplyDeleteHugs, Sarn x
Two beautiful cards, Greta. I love the sentiment of the first one. Kisses!
ReplyDeleteSuper cards, Greta. Very clever idea to create your own plaid paper. xx
ReplyDeleteA double dose of pretty, Greta! What a brilliant idea using a ruler and jelly roll to add to your plaid! So happy to see your card in the JUGs gallery!
ReplyDeletePink and black always appeals to me and you've added a dash of silver to the plaid to increase the drama. The green watercolour forms a lovely background for your leaves, and the slender silver thread tie is all together beautifully.
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are so very striking but you had me at Plaid Greta x.
