I silver embossed PFS Folk Snowflake and then brushed Altenew Arctic, Caribbean Sky and Persian Blue inks through the matching stencils. You can see the embossing shine in my IG video. The sentiment is from the same set. I added low profile clear dots, so still flat for mailing.
It's Stencil Week at JUGS challenge and I didn't want to miss it this time. I pulled out an old SSS stencil called Bouquet of Roses. 
The inks are Altenew Blush, Rouge, Crimson, Sweet Leaf, Just Green and Hunter Green. I purposely let a bit of the green go into the roses, as I like "connecting" the leaves to the flowers. The panel was splattered with Altenew Black Ink Spray and then covered with Heidi Swapp white Color Shine. The shimmer is beautiful and you can kind of see it in my IG post video. I matted the roses panel and the sentiment from PTI Essential Sentiments with silver metallic cardstock. At the last minute, I decided to add one of the butterflies from SSS Stitching Butterflies die cut from vellum. It looks much better in person--sorry the photo isn't better. I'm also entering SSS Flickr 237.
Two lovely cards today, Greta! So happy to have you playing along with us at JUGs!
ReplyDeleteThese are beautifully stenciled designs, Greta! I can imagine the shimmer on both of them! Hugs, Darnell

ReplyDeleteI love shine and both of these cards fit the bill. I've not been good about visiting so I went back and love the birthday cards you made on your last post. Just beautiful.

Gorgeous stenciling, Greta - love the big snowflake on card one and the pair of roses on card two!!
ReplyDeleteThat snowflake is stunning especially with the mix of beautiful blues that you used. And I love your flower - the vellum butterfly is just perfect with it.
ReplyDeleteSuch a gorgeous snowflake in pretty blue color, Greta! Love the second card with the rose stencils. Great addition with the vellum butterfly, so pretty!
ReplyDeleteLovely set of cards, Greta! A little partial to the beautiful snowflake done in blue. The stenciled blooms on the second card are so sweet.
