I die cut Poppystamps Layered Pointy Petals using 3 layers of pink tissue paper at once. Then I pulled apart the layers and glued 2-3 different size flowers together. Instead of the diecut centers, I used pink transluscent enamel dots. Couldn't resist the recent 50% off flash sale at The Greetery and picked up 2 dies. This is my first card using It's a Wrap: Mini Posy Pocket which I die cut from PTI printed paper. Decided my flowers needed something, so I added Memory Box Garland Greenery die cut from vellum. The embossed panel is SSS Dibble Tile and the sentiment stamped in Versafine Clair Morning Mist is from PFS Perfect Sentiments. Glad I had enough Sweet Blush cardstock for the mat, which actually is just a frame. I cut a smaller rectangle from the center to use for another card. I'm also entering NBUS. This is the first outing for the flower wrap, flowers and greenery.
Next is my card for Uniko's 14th BD Celebration. I admire Beverley's designing skills and ability to run her own company. And I'm happy to count her as one of my friends. 
I used CN9 inks for the floral image and Versafine Clair Nocturne for the sentiment. The base stems/leaves layer of Beautiful Blooms III was stamped in Artichoke, the fill-in color in Parsley and the veins in Artichoke. For the flower and berry I used Pink Lemonade and Dragonfruit. I wasn't happy with the flower outline and didn't want to start over, so I carefully traced it using a Gelly Roll Clear Star pen. Thankfully, that gave me a look I liked. Floral Vines is another Uniko stamp set I really like, but this time I just used the birthday sentiment. I splattered black ink and added 3 pearly white sequins. The black dry embossed background was made with Altenew's Angled Mosaic. I'm also entering SSS Wednesday.
I like your dainty flowers and your clean layered design, Greta! So happy to spot this in our JUGs gallery! Card #2 is pretty too. A great way to say happy birthday!
ReplyDeleteJust love both cards, Greta! You bouquet with tissue flowers looks amazing on card one and the flower sprig on card two!!
ReplyDeleteGreta, I am loving your florals. Both the delicacy of the tissue flowers and the oval focal point on the dark panel. Both are very eyecatching.
ReplyDeleteA pretty pink post Greta, the oval on the second really pops against the dark background, but today it's the bouquet on the first that's my favourite.

Your pink flowers are so pretty in both designs, Greta, but that tissue flower bouquet is something special! I love the soft leaves and the e/f background, too! Thank you for inspiring everyone to use their NBUS! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteI love the embossing on both these cards. It is so effective. Lovely use of those flowers too xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful set of cards, Greta! The soft pink tissue flowers on the first one are so pretty. The single bloom on the second is so elegant.
