The sentiment from Timeless Sentiments 2 was attached over white crochet thread. I added Frosted Lace Stickles to the white letters and black enamel dots for embellishment. I'm also entering SSS Wednesday.

Stencilled Cards
As most of you know, pink is my favorite color. Naturally, I like to enter challenges asking for that color. The Altenew June Inspiration Challenge photo is a patch of pink and purple flowers. My first thought was to use the Floral Radiance Layering Stencils, part of what I received to guest design in April. 
Here's a close up so you can sort of see that I used the Dotted Swirls Debossing Cover die over the panel--a look I really love. Sorry my pictures didn't come out that good.
Usually I've made lots of Christmas cards by this time in the year. That hasn't happened, even though they're my favorite to make. Color Hues challenge is Sage and Pink--perfect for CN9 Boughs & Holly Stencils. I used Distress Oxides bundled sage, kitsch flamingo and vintage photo.
I haven't used these stencils very much, so this time I actually looked at the information. Each stencil is intended to be inked, rotated 180 degrees and inked again. Boy does that make a big difference from the look I got last time--haha! I used a light hand for one layer and a bit darker for the other one. Can't wait to make some more! The sentiment from MFT is die cut from silver metallic cardstock, also used for the mat. I also added silver splatters and a few sequins that happened to match perfectly.

ReplyDeleteSummer on a card or should I say cards Greta, the first is just so beautifully done and I'm always a sucker for a floral or leafy wreath.

ReplyDeleteLovely pinkness here for sure. Sweet cards and festive too.
ReplyDeleteThese are such pretty cards and great colors on both. I love your stenciling on the first card and that wreath is so gorgeous with the pink and sage. I think sage is such an underrated color. Your profile picture is so good of you.
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely cards, Greta! Love the stenciled flower card! And, your wreath card is just as lovely! Very pretty soft pink berries and wonderful joy sentiment! Have a great week, hugs!
