I used direct to paper with MFT Peach Bellini and Versafine Clair Blue Belle. Prima blue watercolor was used for the center rectangle. I love IO Woodgrain Frame and it was the perfect size for SSS Bright Blossoms diecut. I stacked the frame 2 high and left the center flat. The sentiment is from PTI Scripted. The petals are stacked 2 high and covered with Shimmer Pico Embellisher. Finished with MB clear Fairy Drops. You can see the beautiful shimmer and shine in my IG video.
Next is my entry for Stay Crafty with Hero and Woodblock Wednesday. I used the words ...in the park... from the HA challenge song along with their 2010 Wild Flowers and 2004 Sketch Butterflies woodmounted stamps. The flowers were gold embossed and the butterflies were white embossed. I used the emboss resist technique with old favorite Brilliance Pearlescent ink pads to represent grass, lake/river and sun. The flowers have clear dots in their centers and the butterflies have Frosted Lace Stickles. You can see the shimmer and shine in my IG video. The mat was also gold embossed. The little white dots represent Cottonwoods which are abundant in our parks this month. Decided against a sentiment and will use this for a notecard. I'm also entering SSS Wednesday.
I've been wanting to make a pastel rainbow card and here's the result using Lawn Fawn ballet slippers and peach fuzz along with Altenew Citrus Burst, Sweet Leaf and Wisteria.I die cut my panel with PFS Slim Braided Circles and added 2 additional layers to the inside circles before gluing them in place. Gold splatters are always good, in my book! PFS Small Butterflies were gold embossed and the bodies were colored with the same inks using the matching stencil. I gently lifted the wings and added the gold embossed sentiment from Sweet Friend Floral. I'm entering PFS June Challenge via Flickr.
all of your projects are gorgeous Greta! I love the 2 colors of heat embossing. Beautiful ink blending!

Three beautiful cards Greta. Love the soft colours of your last card. Just gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteAll three of your cards are really pretty. I think I choose the first one as my favourite. Love those colours and that die cut flower xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful trio of cards, Greta. I too prefer coral or peach over orange. You have showcased our colors so well at Color Hues. Your other two cards are pretty as well with their blended backgrounds. Looks like a very productive day in the craft room. Thanks for joining us.

ReplyDeleteYour Peach and Cobalt card is such a beautiful CAS design. Your video show the lovely shimmer and I love how the die cut extends over the frame. Your Woodblock Wednesday card is also very pretty. I'm a big fan of the PFS die and love the way you used the rainbow ink blending. Thanks, as always, for joining us at Color Hues!
