Another friend gave me MB clear Fairy Drops and I thought the tiny ones made great drops of dew. I'm entering Color Hues and Poppystamps February Challenge.
I just discovered that Distress Oxides tattered rose and saltwater taffy go together beautifully! That's what I blended on Memory Box Magnolia Blossom diecut for this card.
The little center was inked with PTI Bright Buttercup and Harvest Gold. For MB Magnolia Leaf Branch, I blended DO antique linen, vintage photo, bundled sage and rustic wilderness. A sweet friend gave me MB woodgrain cardstock and I blended DO speckled egg very lightly where I was going to attach my focal point. 
I'm currently on a white sentiment with vellum shadow kick and MB Hello Friend Posh Script is a favorite. Wish I'd picked up more of these beautiful, tiny irridescent gems years ago when they were just $1.50! I'm entering Memory Box February Challenge, SSS Wednesday and WAW.
Thanks so much for taking time to stop by. If your blog address is in your profile or comment, I will visit you.
Both cards are beautiful, Greta! I love the pretty lilac flowers on the mint background. The embossing folder adds wonderful texture to the background. Your Magnolia Blossom is stunning--so beautifully ink blended. I think that's going on my wish list as well as that fantastic die cut sentiment!
ReplyDeleteThese are both as pretty as they can be, Greta! I can't stop looking at the fabulous Magnolia card! Your lilac and mint card is so sweet. That pretty little bouquet was worth your effort. Thanks for playing along with us at Poppystamps!
ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful cards Greta. The lilac and mint are perfect together.. but the second one is simply stunning. Love the soft blending of these two oxides.
ReplyDeleteDifficult to choose a favourite today Greta, the vase of flowers is very prettily crafted, but there again the Magnolia is glorious. We can never get them to survive in our soil but saw a beauty when I was out yesterday, deep pink blooms. Mind you after a week of rain had a hard frost last night so some of the early blooms might suffer.

Very pretty cards and I'm especially loving those pastel flowers on the paper hugs card. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteStunning cards Greta, I'm on catch up again. I have gone a fair way back and as always your cards are stunning. x
ReplyDeleteBoth your cards are so pretty. I can understand why the first one was a challenge. So many tiny pieces. Very fiddly. It was worth it though xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful bouquet in vase for card one, Greta - love the minty background too! Your magnolia looks amazing too atop the speckled egg blended woodgrain!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful set of cards, Greta. You combined the colors from the Color Hues challenge perfectly. The ink blending on the magnolia card is absolute gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHello Greta, You already know how much I LOVE your cards but I wanted to come by for a proper comment and a better look. I love the sentiment and CAS layout for your card for CH and of course your other card still has me drooling. Thanks for being with us at Color Hues.
ReplyDeletebeautiful cards, and your ink blending is masterful.
ReplyDeleteGreta, both cards are as lovely as can be! The vase with all those little flowers and stems is absolutely delightful, and the texture in the background is just wonderful. The magnolia card is equally lovely and that color combo of Distress Inks on the petals isn't one I'd thought of but now I'm going to have to try it for sure. Thank you so much for sharing your pretty card at Color Hues!
ReplyDeleteSmiling here Greta! I'll take all the paper hugs I can get! Hugs back at you!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards! Love them both! Thank you so much for playing along with us over at the Color Hues Challenge!
ReplyDeleteLovely cards, Greta! Beautiful ink blending and the flowers on both cards are gorgeous!
