I die cut Into the Blooms II from scraps of 2 shades of red. I didn't want to add another color, so I used vellum for the leaves. The background is Nifty Plaid stamped in Versafine Clair Nocturne & a black Pierced Feature Frame. The sentiment from Essential Sentiments is stacked 3 high. I added Stickles to random petals for a bit of sparkle. 
This one goes to family who have an anniversary in a couple weeks. Thought the little black Gina K heart embellishments made the perfect flower center. I added gloss so they stand out more.
I take that to mean our own card style & mine is simpler with fewer colors. I did begin like Melissa, but I stamped Bold Blooms onto a white Border Bling: Tin Stitched die cut using Berry Sorbet & Vintage Jadeite--spritzing before stamping. 
The vellum layer is Border Bling: Diamonds. I stamped the sentiment from Wildflower Garden on the white die cut from the same set using Versafine Clair Nocturne. 
Finished with die cut blooms & leaves along with a few Rainstones. Melissa's card is beautiful & I love that it inspired me to make a card in my style.
Both products have incredible shimmer in person. The card is PTI Rustic Cream with splatters of the gold & green. I love this sentiment from PTI Prominent Petals which I stamped in Versafine Clair Acorn. 
I finished off with the beautiful sequins from Lucy's Things Champagne mix--part of a prize from The Snippets Playground, where I'm also entering my card.
I will visit you--if Blogger lets me!

Hi Greta
ReplyDeleteThree beautiful cards in this post.
I am particularly taken with your Snippets Playground entry which is wonderfully CAS and very elegant.
I have found a couple of your comments in my blog Spam section. It seems to be a current blogger problem as your comments have always published correctly before! Xxx
Oops, forgot to say thank you very much for playing in the Snippets Playground and dancing round the Maypole with me!!!! X
ReplyDeleteWow, the red blooms on black are so smart. I love the background you created for your middle card and the clean and simple lines on you hello friend card. Just letting you know that to leave a comment, I have to click through various photos identifying objects e.g. chimneys, hills, stop lights and the like. It's not difficult, but thought you'd like to know. x

Oh WOW Greta - such beautiful cards - each one. I do so love the first one, to be truthful. And yet I so Love the snippets one - also to be truthful! Sometimes I almost wish that bloggers didn't swamp us with their huge talents - probably as I can usually only muster one flipping card per blog post from Pixies at a time! Wonderful work Greta! Very Talented lady!
