Thinking of You - with love and purple florals! Fun with The Greetery!

Hello friends! Wishing you a happy day today! It's my turn to share a project on The Greetery Blog today - so of course I'm going to share it here with you also! Yay! The new release festivities from Concord and 9th finished up this weekend, and it's time to start some Easter crafting here too! Spring is springing! We have had tons of rain in the past month and everything is so green and fresh and all the trees and flowers are blooming. I'm in the mood for pastels and florals! If you're a fan of The Greetery (which I know you are), then you might be very excited next week! Just sayin!

My card today features one of my favorite Greetery stencil sets- Rose Tapestry! I decided this time to make it in purple! I do really like how it came out! My finished card is an A2 kraft card base, layered with purple and gingham and then the hoop with the pretty pattern inside. I used cream cardstock for the florals part and the sentiment. Makes the card a bit warmer.

 

Here's a side view of all my layers and elements.... Lots of dimension on this card for sure. And lots of different textures and patterns too. Just the way I like it! Hee hee.

 

 

I used both large and small blender brushes with those wonderful stencils, and inked with shades of spring greens and pretty purples. It is so fun to watch the design take shape with each stencil layer. I used the Hoopla Oval Inserts to die cut my stenciled panel to the perfect size to fit into the Hoop. I accented with silver and purple. I used the Notionable Dies to make the scissors, thread, thimble and needle. My stenciled panel and my sentiment are on cream cardstock for more of a vintage look instead of bright white cardstock.

 

I stamped the sentiment from the Signed Off Sentiments set, and die cut it out with the matching die. I attached everything to my card base and finished off with a bit of twine and some purple pearls. This would be a great card for a crafty friend! Or a fellow cross stitcher!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This card was really so fun to make! Lots going on and it all just works together beautifully because of how everything is designed.

So very pretty. Glad you have survived all that rain! But I do agree after the rain comes the beauty. Lovely colors and it would be nice for someone who does the stitchery. Nicely done.

This is LOVELY in purple, Wanda! Your attention to detail is shinning again! ;) My goal is to SIT DOWN today, LOL And TRY to make a card! LOVE this! AND THANK YOU for a heads up on The Greetery! I've been thinking it should be about time for SPRING/EASTER OFFERINGS!

Hi, Wanda. I love all the details in your card, but I wonder if you're aware that no photos come through on Feedly. It's been about a week since they stopped showing up.
