I was going to do the reverse for the focal point, but I had Memento Nautical Blue ink pad on my table & decided to go for a blue & green color combo on the SSS Cream cardstock. The other Memento inks are Northern Pine & Cottage Ivy.
I stamped the sentiment from the set in Nautical Blue & Versamark so I could clear emboss it. The wreath was mounted with foam tape & trimmed even with the panel edges. The card is SSS Cream cardstock.
I used my MISTI to stamp HA Christmas Rose Bundle on a white panel & on the smaller rectangle with the colored strips using Versafine Clair Nocturne. The lines are a nice dark black in real life. I spritzed the rectangle with shimmer mist & colored the stamens with a black glaze pen. It was really easy to line up the images, even though I added a couple cardstock layers for dimension. Finished off with clear gems in the flower centers. A fun look for something different. I'm also entering The Snippets Playground.
Two lovely cards, Greta! Love the pretty wreath against the white! And, second card is so interesting and bright with the wonderful strips!
ReplyDeleteThese may be my two favorite Greta cards this fall or year!! I enjoy your creativity so much.
ReplyDeleteyour wreath card is stunning. Nice touch to emboss in the background. Love the colours as well. And your second card is fabulous. Love that look of the colour blocking style. Great cards.
ReplyDeleteTwo very pretty cards here Greta. The wreath one is so fresh with great embossing and dimension.
ReplyDeleteLove how you used your snippets on the second card - with added dimension again.
Meet you in the treehouse later for some hot chocolate and maybe a taste test of the Witches Brew?? X
Two beautiful cards! I love the white on white embossing behind the lovely blue/green wreath. Your second card is great inspiration, since I've had trying that technique on my to-so list for a long time!
ReplyDeleteOH! These are just wonderful Greta, love your easy on the eye wreath with a beautiful sentiment. Your strips of paper card is so clever, and with a great design. Love them both

I love using the wreath as background and it made a beautiful card. The colors you chose for your strips are so pretty and happy.
ReplyDeleteTwo really effective ideas on these cards. I really like the coloured strips. might have to try it myself xx
ReplyDeleteGreta, both cards are fabulous. Love the soft greens and aquas on your wreath. The embossing adds a lovely texture Your color strip card is awesome, love you explaining the how to's.
ReplyDeleteI still like the look of using the same image in the background and you've done it beautifully! Your second card is incredible! Love the design and need to give it a try too!
ReplyDeletewonderful set of cards, greta. the first one is so elegant, but the second is a real showstopper!
ReplyDeleteTwo great cards, Greta - love your wreath and your layered outlines look amazing!!
ReplyDeleteTwo lovely cards Greta! I love them equally. Your idea for the snippets card is great - I need to try that one out! My guess is that using the Misti was a great help with lining up the stamping of the two layers so perfectly?

Both cards are so beautiful, but the first one is so elegant, I think it's my favorite!
ReplyDeleteTwo lovely cards again, Greta and I particularly love the wreath card. The multi ink colouring on the wreath is so classy and I really like the subtle white on white background. I really like the unusual spotlight technique you used on the second card too!
