Final August Challenges
Decided to make one more card for August challenges. This one definitely took some patience, which I've been learning with one arm in a sling. I love the colors for the August Altenew challenge. Turned out I have some beautiful greener teal cardstock in a container of old 8 1/2 x 11sheets I bought years ago. Unfortunately, in spite of numerous attempts, I can't get a picture to show the deep greenish blue color. 
Love Altenew Leafy Border die, but haven't used it much. Thought it would be pretty to have the tan & beige behind it. Pulled out several ink pads & decided Memento Peanut Brittle & Altenew Pink Sand were very close to the challenge colors. I smooshed them onto a piece of mixed media paper with one ink across the bottom part that would show & the other across the top with just a bit of overlap. I did the same thing to the scrap I used for Altenew Essential Sentiment Strips die. The foliage was brushed with a shimmer pen & I added tiny old gems that were just the right color. You can see the shimmer & sparkle in the IG video HERE. I'm also entering SSS Monday challenge.

This is beautiful, Greta! I love the simplicity of your design and you nailed the colors!
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful Greta. Love all that bold teal with the soft colours behind.
ReplyDeleteThe teal colours really contrast well against the sepia tones Greta.

Your one arm designs are stunning, Greta. I love to see your lovely creations for three more sling weeks. Then the sky is the limit with both arms! This is so pretty and I love the colors you chose.
ReplyDeleteThe colors look amazing to me and I love the die-cut detail on this pretty card! Very pretty and not bad for a one-armed creation *wink*
ReplyDeleteHow very beautiful, I love the design and how you used the colours.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous use of that color combo, Greta - love the beige backing!!
ReplyDeleteLovely take on the color combo, Greta. Despite your arm being in a sling you have created some very pretty cards!
ReplyDeleteSo So pretty, Greta. You've d one nicely in the sling had you not said I wouldn't see it in your creation.
ReplyDeleteWow, can't believe you are crafting with one arm in a sling. And doing it quite well I might add. Very pretty leafy die and beautiful card. Looks like you are doing well. BTW, I have a Triplet update on my blog if you get a chance to stop by.
