I've got two cards to share with you today. First is a card using Papertrey's Birds and Blooms set using this week's Dynamic Duos challenge colors - gumball green and a color of my choice. For this simple wreath, I thought orange would be a nice compliment. I stamped the wreath offset on the bottom and then dry embossed vertical stripes around the wreath. Added a layered sentiment banner on top and adhered the white panel on kraft cardstock.
As soon as I saw the CAS-ual Fridays challenge using ovals, I knew I wanted to try an inlaid diecut technique. I used a bunch of greens/blues that I thought would look nice layered together - tropical teal, new leaf, aqua mist, and hawaiian shores. Once they were all cut and laid in, I heat embossed the sentiment in white.
A couple more masculine cards for my stash.....
Have a great week. Thanks for taking a peek.
Fabulous cards. Your oval one is so unique and fun and I love the texture and the wreath on your first one.
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love your inlaid ovals - a great way to show off the coordinating colours - very clever! Thanks so much for joining us at CAS-ual Fridays!
ReplyDeleteLove how you offset your wreath! Those inlaid die cut eggs are so clever!
ReplyDeleteThe wreath card is lovely! The orange makes me think of the hottest days of summer (tigerlilies and marigolds against a white fence). Thanks for linking up with the Dynamic Duos again this week, for our green+ challenge.
