The Altenew inks are Fresh Lemon, Maple Yellow and Sunkisseed. I also used Distress Oxide crackling campfire, Memento Pistachio and CN9 Artichoke. The cardstocks are cream and Classic Kraft. I stacked the bouquet 3 high and Altenew Essential Sentiment Strips Happy Birthday was stacked 2 high. The background has a light coating of Distress Spritz Vintage Photo and the focal point has brown splatters. You can get a better look in my IG video. I finished off with yellow gems and green pearls. I'm also entering SSS Monday.
My next card was inspired by 2 challenges: Time Out photo inspiration and Die Cut Divas color challenge. Instead of seashells, my heart was made with Poppystamps Potpourri Flower Set and I filled the center with SSS Leaf Tumble embossing folder.
DCD requires the use of at least 3 of the colors. I used 4 starting with the card, PFS Nested Diagonal Stitch Square and embossed square done with GKD Whisper cardstock. I made my own colored cardstock for the flowers by using direct to paper (Bristol) with VersaMagic Pink Petunia and Red Brick plus Altenew Velvet. The sentiment from Altenew Sweet Bouquet was stamped in Versafine Clair Morning Mist. I added tiny clear gems in roughly a heart shape to help your eye see the heart. What do you think? 😊 It was fun to make an anniversary card that's a little different.
Edited to add: Also entering Tic Tac Toe 273 using anniversary, free, square.
Two pretty floral cards, Greta! Love those sunny yellow blooms on the first on all the layered ones on the second! Sure hope you're feeling better SOON!
ReplyDeleteTwo amazing cards Greta. Love the soft yellow/orange florals on your first one. And how incredible is that second one. Love how you used the colours for Die Cut Divas. So happy to see you join us. Also loved how you made the heart with flowers.
