I spritzed a white cardstock negative with Distress Mica Stain Tree Lot. The outline glitter cardstock tree was then glued in place. The gorgeous sparkle and shimmer can be seen in my IG post. The very old wood mounted sentiment was popped up. Super simple, but I love the result. I'm entering Poppystamps Make it Magic October challenge to add sparkle and WAW via IG.
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 card for the Pinkfresh Studio October challenge. I had fun using all the dies in their Blanket Stitched Rectangles, along with a flower from Dainty Blossoms--a much loved PFS die set. 
To get Fall colors, I pulled out 3 ink cubes from Altenew's Warm & Cozy set: Orange Cream, Autumn Blaze and Firebrick. The largest frame was glued flat to the card front. The next largest was stacked 2 high and the rectangle was stacked 3 high. It really makes a difference in real life. The flower was die cut from gold metallic cardstock and the sentiment from Sweet Friend Floral (another favorite PFS set) was gold embossed on black. I added a few black enamel dots to finish it off. I'm sending it to a friend instead of a traditional Thanksgiving card.
Last is my entry for the Altenew October Inspiration Challenge, JUGS stencil challenge and WAW. It's been awhile since I used Altenew's White Cap Peonies stencil set and I do love it. Wasn't sure how it would look in the colors for this month, so was happy to see they actually looked beautiful once the stenciling was done. These are the Altenew inks: Pale Mauve, Amethyst, Grape Agate, Sunkissed, Firebrick, Silver Sprout and Sagestone. 
Love what adding some gold splatters does to a panel! Altenew's Sparkled Frame die is one of my favorite products from when I was a guest designer. I used matte gold cardstock for it and the word die from Floral Acanthus. Glad I have quite a few enamel dot sets that match my Altenew inks, including these. I got brave and added both purple and orange. I considered skipping this month's challenge, but I'm really glad I didn't. Ended up with a card I really love and I think it will be perfect for a Fall birthday.
Beautiful work as always, Greta! I like your white tree for Poppy and your warm fall colors for Pinkfresh. But it's your amazing stenciled card that steals the spotlight for me! Thanks for sharing it with us at JUGs!
ReplyDeleteThree stunners Greta. All fabulous, but the last one is simply incredible.
ReplyDeleteAs always three lovely creations Greta, the tree on the first has a modern feel to it, the layering on the second so effective and the third would, as you say, make be perfect for an Autumnal Birthday.

Three more very lovely cards. Regarding the second one, I really like how you used the frame die—a nice idea.
ReplyDeleteYour cards are all lovely, Greta. Those peonies are fantastic done in the oranges and purples. Thanks for sharing that one with us at Just Us Girls.
ReplyDeleteThree really wonderful cards. I particularly like the middle one, partly because I have that flower die and I always like to see how other crafters use products that I also own. I do love that little flower, but sadly, I have barely used it. Thanks for the inspiration xx
