I attached the blue & yellow to a white panel & then used SSS Vine Canopy embossing folder. It's beautiful in any color! The EH Hexagon Frame was a leftover I had already covered in glaze. I added gold watercolor to the ends of the SSS Etched Laurel Leaves. 
The PB die cut word was stacked 2 high & covered with a shimmer pen. Finished off with gold sequins. I'm entering Color Hues, ModSquad & SSS Wednesday.
Here's the card I sent in February for the CCC. Hadn't made a shaped card in awhile, so that was fun. I used 3 ovals in the Elizabeth Craft die set & attached the 1/2 wreath die cut that was included in a previous CCC card I received from Hilary. 
I added the color with Altenew wc markers & a little water. The very old HA sentiment was silver embossed, so the mat was die cut from silver metallic paper.
You might be able to see the silver splatters in the close up & the sweet little blue gem stickers a friend sent me long ago. I'm entering DRU, Inkspirational, SSS Wednesday & WAW.
As I mentioned in a previous post, I've recently been inspired by some new to me designers. One of my favorites is Martina. I highly recommend checking out her work! My entry for the PTI challenge to make a card with embossing powder was totally inspired by Martina. I used Versafine Clair Nocturne to stamp PTI images from Watercolor Wonder, Background Basics: Geometric & Turning a New Leaf. I also added black splatters. Here's what it looked like when I finished. 
I embossed a white scrap with JudiKins Chameleon ep I've had for many years. Then I die cut the little bloom from PTI Into the Blooms II 7 times. The white die cut leaves are from PTI Garden Gild. 
The sentiment from PTI Prominent Petals was embossed with a clear matte ep I got years ago before my LSS closed. The brand isn't listed on the bottle. Finished off with Shimmer Pico Embellisher dots & added some cardstock layers for a bit of dimension. 
I'm calling this a mini slimline as it's 3 1/4 x 6 1/4. I'm also entering SSS Wednesday & WAW.
The Peace card is stunning in bold blue and yellow. I'm making one for Ukraine today. Haven't seen an oval card for a while and yours came up beautifully. Martina's influence has ended in a modern, unique style card which I really like. I must take a look at her work. TFS

ReplyDeleteThe Peace card is so beautiful Greta, I love your oval half wreath so pretty and it works so well too. What a wonderful idea to use a stamp and layer flowers onto it. Love the effect Greta.

My heart goes out to Ukraine and what they are going through. Your card is lovely. My mind seems to work different than most because when I saw the oval card I thought you had decorated a plastic stamp pad! That is is a pretty card and when my stamp pads dry up I know what to do with them. So clever to add the flowers to the stamped image.
ReplyDeleteI've gotten to the point of avoiding the news again. I am heartbroken and sick at the devastation being wrought by that narcissist. Your Ukraine card is beautiful. I am loving that large and lush oval card too. Your third card is fab as well with the fun ink blot type stamping and the sweet blooms. Take card my friend. Hugs.
