The sentiment from Altenew's Morning Glory was stamped in black and heat embossed in clear powder on the same red cardstock I used for the card front. Three black enamel dots embellish the flower center. I'm also entering WAW.
Thanks so much for taking time to stop by. If your blog address is in your profile or comment, I will visit you.
I wanted to make a Christmas card in traditional colors, so started by embossing a green panel with SSS Forest Border folder. I lightly rubbed the top edges with a white ink pad and then couldn't decide what else to do. 
After it sat on my table a few days, I came across the red and white Birch Press Design Vintage Merry Christmas I put together awhile ago. I added Shimmer Pico Embellisher to the letters. Then I remembered my IO deer which were just the right size. .jpg)

I colored them in brown ink mixed with white metallic watercolor left on my surface. A simple, easy to mail card, but I like it. I'm entering DCD and WAW.
Two beautiful cards, Greta! Love what you've done with the fabulous peony!
ReplyDeleteBoth lovely cards Greta, the second makes for a delightful Christmas card, but that first one is just stunning, wonderful use of colour.

Both cards are beautiful, Greta! As I say on IG the red peony is stunning against the black background, and the way you've lifted the leaves gives it wonderful dimension. Thanks for sharing with us at Color Hues.

ReplyDeleteI hear you about the difference in photo quality between your phone and laptop. I have the same issues.

This is stunning Greta!!! The layers on your peony are amazing. My cards always look better on my phone too and I've often wondered why. Thanks so much for playing with Color Hues!
ReplyDeleteThe flower on the first card is just gorgeous, Greta! The Christmas card is clean, simple, and so pretty!
ReplyDeleteThis card completely caught my attention in the gallery at Color Hues, Greta! The peony is just wonderful as is the reindeer card. Thanks for sharing your talents with us at Color Hues.
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely Christmas cards, Greta! Love the gorgeous peony! And, wonderful deer with the embossed green background!
ReplyDeleteTwo fantastic cards. The peony is so striking! WOW. I love how things work too, when you don't know what to do and something from your desk jumps out at you.
ReplyDeleteOh, So glad you joined us at Die Cut Divas. LOL
ReplyDeleteOMG, Greta, I'm so happy you decided to use that gorgeous die cut peony! What a stunning card you've created. The different shades of red for the petals is so visually vibrant, especially against the black background. Thanks so much for sharing over at Color Hues!
ReplyDeleteLovely!❤️🖤
ReplyDeleteGreta both of these are such beautiful cards. That Alex Syberia peony is so so gorgeous. You really made it shine, pop, explode--well done. Thank you so much for sharing with us at the Color Hues!
ReplyDeleteYour flower with the variety of reds in the petals is stunning! (I've never understood why a picture can look different between the two platforms!) I love it with white leaves on black. The deer are so sweet - I love the simple trees in the background.
