I inked the bloom with Altenew Baby Pink and Fuchsia and the leaves with Mountain Pine. The elements of Stef's card that I incorporated in mine are the large floral, dry embossing, splatters, small stamped/die cut sentiment and the mat just at the top and bottom. Altenew's Deck Planks 3D embossing folder was used with white cardstock and I splattered it with Honey Drizzle ink. The colored strips for the top and bottom of the card front were inked with Honey Drizzle. I love shimmer and shine, so before attaching my focal point, I sprayed it with Lindy's Gang Pixie Dust Glitz Spritz. Oh my goodness--it's so beautiful in the light. Check out my IG post to see it. I like using generic sentiments on the front of my cards so I can put whatever I need on the inside. This one may be a birthday card or even for Easter. Love the font of this sentiment from Altenew's Morning Glory stamp set. I haven't been using embellishments much lately, but thought these beautiful iridescent gems were perfect. They pick up the ink colors and are soft enough not to be distracting. I'm also entering DCD, as flowers mean Spring to me.
Thanks so much for taking time to stop by. If your blog address is in your profile or comment, I will visit you.
Next is my entry for Christmas Kickstart: Out of the Woods. During my recent foiling session, I cut a piece of blank toner paper the size needed to die cut my three IO deer.
I used bronze foil and it came out great! Running everything through my laminator twice seemed to make a difference as the only things that didn't foil perfectly were small toner sentiments. They never are perfect in my experience. Anyway, finally got around to die cutting the deer and the shine is so beautiful! 
I used the old MB Garden Birch Landscape stencil, which I love. The Altenew inks are Caribbean Sky, Persian Blue and Sapphire. I added small white splatters and spread Snowfall Grit Paste at the bottom. The sentiment combines the BP word die and W&W stamp. Peace--what we all need, not just at Christmas. I'm also entering WAW.
Stunning pink flower, Greta & I love your woodland scene too!!

The blossoms are impressive and beautiful. And we see deer and stags every day in the forest, just like on your card.
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely, Greta. I've never tried foiling but am loving how beautiful the deer look. Thanks so much for playing along with Wendy and me - it's always a joy to have you join the fun. Jo x
ReplyDeleteBoth your cards are beautiful Greta! I love your take on Stef's card! The large bloom is stunning and perfect for your design! I agree about using a more generic sentiment so the card can be used for various occasions. I tend to often do the same. Thanks so much for sharing with us at Time Out Birthday Challenge! :)
ReplyDeleteThat pink bloom is the bomb. The color is beautiful and the sparkle is the icing on the cake! Those deer just shine in their forest. Two great cards, my dear friend.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful peaceful winter scene! 🦌 The soft blue background with those delicate white trees looks stunning and really makes the graceful deer stand out. The simple design gives it such a calm elegant feel and the sentiment ties it all together perfectly. A lovely card that captures the quiet magic of winter 😊 Thank you for sharing your wonderful creation with us at the Christmas Kickstart Blog and we hope to see you back again soon 🎄
