What a time to be an American. RFK in charge of our health?! I told myself even Trump wouldn't do that. But turns out sometimes things really are going to be as bad as you think.
The background of my card for the Memory Box Monthly challenge was an experiment with gesso and Lindy's Magicals using a brayer over a stencil. Need to try again without a stencil, but I didn't want to waste the panel. 
Simple, elegant cards are my favorite, so this one makes me happy. It's prettier in person, but this gives you the idea.
Memory Box Blooming embossing folder is definitely one of my favorites! It's white here, in case you can't tell. Poppystamps Dream Butterfly was die cut from cardstock covered with a double sided adhesive sheet so I could cover it with WOW! Celebration Sparkles--a bit chunkier, champagne glitter. The butterfly needed something solid behind it and I ended up using Spellbinders Labels 18. Instead of leaving them white, I brushed Altenew's Minty Mint ink on the larger one. I used the next darker shade, Hunter Green, to stamp the PTI Scripted sentiment. I'm entering Poppystamps and TTTC272 where my friend, Betty, developed the board. I used Layers/Free/Floral-Foliage.
These are both simple, elegant and ever so lovely, Greta! Always love seeing your works of art in our Poppystamps gallery! Thanks for playing along!

WOW - just love the look of texture on your first card Greta... it is stunning. And yes, your second card is so elegant. Both cards in soft greens looking amazing.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous leaves on card one and I love the glittery butterfly on card two, Greta!!
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful and elegant! PoppyStamps DT... Kisses!
ReplyDeleteGreta, this is such a lovely card. Sympathy cards are always a challenge for me. I don't want to be too cheery or blingy, but don't want to be too depressing either. You've done a great job balancing these. The butterfly one is lovely too. Thanks so much for sharing over at Word Art Wednesday this round. We really appreciate you!
ReplyDeleteYou have created such lovely texture on your first card with that technique. I bet there is a wonderful shine too. Your sparkly butterfly looks wonderful against the embossed background on your second card. Love them both xx
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely cards! Very pretty leaves on the first card and love the glittery butterfly on on the second card!
ReplyDeleteLovely cards, Greta...thanks for sharing them with us at the TTTC
