First is my entry for PFS December Challenge to make a holiday card. I ended up using more of my hoarded PFS Christmas Wishes paper pack to make hubby's card. 
I used circle dies to cut out parts of 2 different papers & used the sketch at FMS to make my card. One of the PFS Layered Snowflakes was die cut from super sparkly silver glitter paper & the sentiment was made with Heidi Swapp alpha stickers. 
The PTI Soft Stone panel was splattered with white gouache & I added tiny PPP iridescent stars. Glad this one is staying at my house--haha!
Next is my entry for the Altenew December Challenge with a card based on the October 2022 inspiration photo & colors. I began by using the Dotted Swirls Debossing plate on a green, textured panel. 
Then I die cut blooms & leaves from Climber Flowers die set using white cardstock scraps. I colored the floral layers by brushing them with PTI Lovely Lady, varying the amount of ink to get 3 shades. The leaves were colored with PTI Harvest Gold & Distress Ink fossilized amber. The sentiment from Essential Sentiment Strips die set was cut from a black scrap & backed with a white strip inked in Lovely Lady.
Last time I had my laminator out, I foiled several Foil-It panels in the TE Modern Eucalyptus kit. Thought the one I did using teal foil would make a pretty birthday card stenciled with shades of purple. I used PTI Lavender Moon, Winter Wisteria & Lilac Grace. 
I used my old Lil' Inker stitched rectangle die to cut down the panel & added it to Winter Wisteria & black mats.
Three fabulous cards, Greta. Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy, Healthy and Creative 2023. xx
ReplyDeleteWhat contrasts of designs today Greta, the first has a real retro feel to it, the second so striking with the colours used and the third totally up my street, I have a real thing for floral wreaths.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a very Happy and Peaceful Christmas.

Three gorgeous cards Greta. Love the colours on your husband's Christmas card, and the delicate floral wreath on the third card. The middle one entered as your Snippets Playground homework is SO striking, with its pretty debossed background and focal flowers.
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming to play in the Snippets Playground. There's a nice mug of hot chocolate with extra marshmallows awaiting you in the Treehouse. Happy Christmas xxx
Wow Greta, three fabulous cards! Like Sarn, I too love all of them and agree that the middle one is very striking! Gorgeous flowers and I just HAD to treat myself to the lovely sentiment dies - bad me.

Incredible cards and take on the sketch Greta, but then you always have very beautiful cards. I hope you are not being hit with the snow "bomb". Keep warm and dry and have a wonderful Christmas.
ReplyDeleteI love all three of these, but I think the one with that lovely bold green background is my favourite. We are hearing about your extraordinary weather. I hope it passes you by without too much trauma. Wishing you a very special Christmas xx
