The image is so small I decided to do some coloring. Wasn't as intimidating & I do like how it turned out using Memento Bamboo Leaves & Cantaloupe markers along with Copic BV00. I thought the background in the photo was a light lavender, but after I watched Therese's video I realized it's a gray. Oh well, too late! 
The branch looked pretty on a white panel, but I liked the contrast using Altenew Forest Glades cardstock. I really like Altenew's Essential Sentiment Strips die set. I cut Happy Birthday from both black & white cardstocks. Debated a bit, but really liked the look of the black one, so went with that. Finished off with yellow Stickles & black Pico Embellisher dots. I'm also entering SSS Wednesday via IG & Snippets Playground with a black scrap for the sentiment.
Thanks so much for taking time to stop by. If your blog address is in your profile or comment, I will visit you.
Next is my card for Stay Crafty with Hero. I've used HA Greenery Medallion Fancy die for Christmas cards, but decided to use it for a Spring Wreath this time. 
I colored with Jade Green Tri-Blend Spectrum Noir pen that was given to me. I did a little blending, although it's hard to tell. The berries were covered with Nuvo Silver Moondust Glitter Drops which I also used on the SSS Painted Hugs shadow layer. 
The blue cardstock is from a pack I bought on clearance years ago. I'm not fond of most of it, but this shade of blue I like. The panel has white gouache splatters & the top layer of the sentiment is covered in Nuvo Glaze. I could put an Easter sentiment inside or just use it for a friendship card. I'm also entering SSS Wednesday.
Wonderful springtime cards, Greta.

Gorgeous cards Greta - both of them. I do love your snippets card - so interesting to read how you made it. I did smile, you're a gal like me who procrastinates! And I love the shade of the Altenew 'Forest Green' card you used. So all in all - great work!

ReplyDeleteThat spring branch looks great on the green background. The wreath looks beautiful and that's a good way to get more out of the dies you have by using different coloring.
