The stamp set is called Petal Poise and I first embossed it in gold, and then used the coordinating stencils with different shades of green inks (Gina K). I used the die to cut out the 5 floral pieces and then arranged them around a white circle that I edged with Versamark and gold embossing powder. The sentiment that is also from the set was embossed in gold too.
For my background I did a white on white with PFS's Trellis die and the Stitched Scallop Rectangle die and attached them both to a white card base. I finished with 3 gold metallic pearls and called it good! GREEN & GOLD and I love how it turned out...thanks Karen for such a fun color pairing!!
And because I still had all the supplies out, I made a 2nd card exactly like the first one, except in pinks and greens...
Definitely doesn't work for this color challenge, but I still thought it turned out pretty and will help me rebuild my birthday stash!
The DT and our Special GD's Darnell & Donna all have awesome inspiration for you with these colors, and you can check them out right HERE. This challenge is open till Saturday, March 14th @ 9:00AM, and we hope to see YOU in the gallery!
Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!
You just widened all of our horizons with the unique green shading of your flowers, Marlinda! I love it that way and how you surrounded the pretty floral sprays with lots of gold and lots of texture and dimension with your background and framing! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteYour flowers are pretty in the shades of green and gold embossing. I love how you added gold embossing around the die cut circle and the trellis and scallop frame are lovely. That 2nd card with the pink flowers and same design is beautiful. (( Hugs))
ReplyDeleteYou aced it, Marcia! LOve the gold-embossing and your shades of green are wonderful for these pretty flowers. Not so bad in pink either -wink!
ReplyDelete=]
Ooooohhh, Marcia... I love these both so much! Beautifully done, my freind!
ReplyDeletehaha... friend!!!
DeleteYour flowers are so perfect that I've been thinking they were Washi die cuts! I was gobsmacked when I saw that you had stamped and colored them! What a fantastic job you did and on the pink flowers too! Gorgeous, cards, my friend!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous.
ReplyDeleteOh, my gosh, your card is incredible in green and gold! I love your arrangement along with the trellis and scallops. This just blows me away! Of course you had to make another in pink, too. You now have two absolutely beautiful birthday cards!
ReplyDeleteMarcia your cards are so lovely! The trellis background is perfect for the circle focal point. The green flowers and gold detail makes it so beautiful. I love your spin on the colours!!
ReplyDeleteThe first card is absolutely precious in green &gild; however the second card is beautiful in pink and green! Lots of shine, pretty colors and texture -- fabulous, Friend!
ReplyDeleteYour shades of green florals look so elegant Marcia, and the pop of gold just adds to the overal effect. Such a pretty take on the challenge with the trellis adding such great texture. :)
ReplyDeleteOh these are gorgeous! I don't think you need anything else added to them, perfect in design! Love the delicate look, the green and gold one really jumps out at me! Lovely!
ReplyDeleteGosh, Marcia, your card is just so beautiful! Thinking outside the box can be hard (at least I have a hard time making myself do it!), but it certainly released your creativity with this beautiful and delicate die and stencil set. Love the trellis background too. Just stunning!
ReplyDeleteSuch elegant cards, Marcia. I have never thought to just emboss around a circle before, boy do I feel silly. Thanks for inspiring me and teaching me new techniques!
ReplyDeleteI loved your card when I first saw it on the DT blog, and now being able to see the beautiful details, I love it even more! Your embossing around the circle is perfection, and all the elements combine to make this such an elegant card! As you would say, you've made these colors shine!!! The pink and green combo is also lovely, and demonstrates how versatile these products are.
ReplyDeleteMarcia, I'm blown away with how gorgeous your flowers are with their gold outlines and shades of green petals. Eye-catching and stunning! The second version is WOW as well! Awesome inspiration with the challenge colours!

Both colour combinations are beautiful on your lovely designed card Marcia. And you know me ... I'm all about the pink. But I have to say your shades of green card is so serene, calming, peaceful ... LOVE IT! xx
ReplyDeleteThese are both just stunning! I love the green and gold and how the gilding really makes this card shine. The embossing around the circle die is a brilliant step. The pink flowers are just as sweet as can be too! Two fabulous card my friend.
ReplyDeleteLove your card in the shades of green and the added gold makes it extra pretty, Smart on your part to make another while you had the supplies out. It's so pretty as well.
ReplyDeleteHope you have a wonderful week ahead
