Hi everyone!!!!
A great sketch by Narelle up at the Freshly Made Sketches Blog!!!!
I've made two cards following the sketch:
All dies from MFT.
Sentiment stamp from Altenew.
Grid stamp from Studio g. Heat embossed in silver.
The frame has been sewn partly to the vellum overlay.
This is the second one, which I will use as a wedding card for friends of ours' whose daughter is getting married in March:
Winked my daisy and the scalloped strip.
Have to go and have a look at the fig jam I'm making - it's smelling good!!!!
So nice of you to pop in!!!
Have a great Sunday!!!!
Petra, you've taken my breath away with these beautiful cards, and the innovative pairing of images/elements that create lovely visual harmony! Flowers, stars, leaves, grids, frames...rich details all, assembled perfectly. The wedding card: a treasure and keepsake for the newlyweds! Wishing you a wonderful day...

Beautiful cards, Petra! Your layering is always perfect.
ReplyDeleteTwee sierlijke kaartjes, de eerste vrolijk en de tweede chique!!!
ReplyDeleteCreatieve groetjes, Gaby
Beautiful cards Petra! Love the shimmery details and fancy flowers!
ReplyDeleteTwo more of your lovely & colorful designs. I really like the way you use the frame shapes combined with the other elements...it looks super with the vellum, and clever idea to sew the vellum to attach it! I never know how to adhere properly. The mustard gold shade of #1's background, shows off the different elements splendidly, and I liked #2- more subdued, but equally lovely. Wonderful cards for the occasion...You're amazing! TFS & Have a great week. Hugs
ReplyDeleteHello, Petra! I like what you've done with this sketch! I'm particularly drawn to the second card. I love how you can layer die cuts and they look fabulous! I have not mastered this - at all! Enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteboth cards are fabulous, petra... your ability to combine and layer different elements always leaves me amazed!!
ReplyDeleteBright, and gorgeous, Petra!!! You very well represented the sketch, in a very beautiful way ... LOve that label sentiment! And all of the beautiful vellum on both!

ReplyDeleteWow Petra, isn't it amazing how much a colour can change the feeling of a design!! That orange is so up-lifting and I love it paired with the orange flower and black details. The white design is so stylish and peaceful. Love the black and white flower and the shimmer details are gorgeous. Both of these are spectacular!!!
ReplyDeleteOh how pretty, especially love the use of vellum.
