Luckily there was one edge of the scrap that worked to mat the PTI sentiment. An old Darice snowflake embossing folder was used for the cups and I added a dot of Shimmer Pico Embellisher to the snowflake centers. Yay for a nearly flat card ready to mail this Christmas. I'm also entering Snippets Playground.
Thanks so much for taking time to stop by. If your blog address is in your profile or comment, I will visit you.
Next is a card inspired by a recent one made by my in real life friend, Lin. She reminded me of the Gina K Video I saved to my favorites two years ago. 
I white embossed a very old wood mounted French script stamp. It doesn't completely cover the panel, but I actually like the look. I used Uniko's Flower Power #8 stencil with Distress Oxides Abandoned Coral and Saltwater Taffy.
The sentiment is from Uniko's Simply Said blocks. Love that enamel dots are flat enough to not need extra postage. I'm entering Inkspirational and Just Us Girls.
Two super cards, Greta. I love the design on the first card and the stencilling the second card is just beautiful.

My favorite part of your first card are those cute little embossed cups! The snowflakes look perfect on them! What a delightful card. It's always a treat to have one of your petty cards in our JUGs gallery. Love that sweet stenciled bloom!
ReplyDeleteThe white stamping on the grey panel looks so pretty with those little red cups and the stenciled design on #2 is just lovely. Nice work on both.
ReplyDeleteOoo - the sweet pair of coffee mugs & the stenciled over script, Greta - both fabulous cards!! You are quick to get to JUGS this week - me too - started a card I hope to finish today...
ReplyDeleteI bet the shimmer on the first card really gives it a lift in real life. great idea to use white pigment ink on the grey paper, but it can be a trial to get a clean impression. I reckon you did pretty well. I also love the second card. Such a lovely soft colour, it is perfect with that stencil and anything Uniko is wonderful in my book xx
ReplyDeleteLove both of these cards Greta. The Snippets Playground one is just gorgeous and reminds me of all the drinks we have up in the treehouse! Thanks for coming to play.
ReplyDeleteThe stencilled and embossed card is a triumph. Will have to have a go at CASEing it sometime soon (with your permission). Xxx
Greta, both of your designs are beautiful! Love those cups, their color and the dry embossing.
ReplyDeleteThanks for joining us at the Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge!
I wish we were having tea together in those cute little cups while watching football! Your blending of colors on the flower is beautiful. The script is a wonderful touch in the flower.
ReplyDeleteSweet winter hearts, and I adore that flower with the stencilling and embossing...FAB.
ReplyDeleteFabulous cards Greta - you're absolutely right that the wider margin works well on your snippets card. I need to try that one out! It gives the card that something extra special - love it! Also adore your second card - being a 'pinks' gal!
ReplyDeleteHugs - and a cuddle for Fritz from Dudley!

Two beautiful cards, Greta! Love the embossing on the cups for the first card! And, the second card with the lovely flower and text is so pretty! Have a great week, hugs!!
ReplyDeleteBoth of your cards are wonderful, Greta. I love the technique you used for your Just Us Girls card. I saw that technique on a Gina K video and meant to try it out, but I forgot about it. I love the way your card turned out, and really have to remind myself to try it soon. Thanks so much for playing at Just Us Girls. It's wonderful to see you in the gallery!
ReplyDeletefabulous cards Greta. Love the last one... so sweet
ReplyDeleteBeautiful stenciling on the second card, Greta! The first card is a sweet take on the challenge.
ReplyDeleteBoth are stunning, but so different, love the colour mix on both cards Greta.
