Four cards for the Winnie and Walter birthday bash today. Let's get right to it.
First up, Shay's "One" challenge. I may be stretching it a bit here but ignoring black, I used only one color of ink - Delicata gold!
Next, think-outside-the-box Kelly's In Rotation challenge. Basically CASEd myself here, but added some interest with dry embossing after my images were stamped.
I'm joining the Anything Goes #10 challenge at Stempelkueche with this CAS card.
How about some ombre? That's what Vanessa challenged us to do in her Gradient challenge. She's shared some wonderful inspiration photos on the W&W blog. I chose to work with Antique Linen, Old Paper and Pumice Stone distress inks for a change. Embossed the sentiment with Liquid Platinum and strategically placed a few sequins next to the camouflaged die cut and stacked heart.
And lastly today, the master of Distress Inks, Mayuri, challenges us to use them to create a pattern. I put a slight twist on it by including masking. (Told ya I love those leaves from The Big, Bold and Extras!)
I'm taking this card to Virginia's View - Clean Slate. Sure there are some bright colors, but a whole lotta white too!
Appreciate your visit. If you come by tomorrow you'll see my last two cards for the birthday bash and on Sunday my 2014 Faves post. Have a great day.
You really are rocking these challenges at W& W :)..Wow !!..Just awesome cards ,really liked all four takes especially the first one ..Its gorgeous !!!
ReplyDeleteWow, you really have got withdrawal symptoms, haven't you? They're all fabulous. Love the classic design of the first, the embossing detail on the second, that gorgeous combination of colours for the ombré on the third, and the reverse stamping of the leaves on the fourth. Plenty to pin and case here. I've just cased one of your others which I'll post next week. Off on a girly weekend.
ReplyDeleteWow. These are really wonderful submissions to the W&W challenges!! My favorite is the flower image you created for the In Rotation challenge! Also love how you created a pattern with your W&W stamps and distress inks by masking!! Love them all!!

Love the bright and happy designs, Maria! The masking and colors are absolutely delightful! ! Danke für deine Teilnahme bei Virginia’s View “Clean Slate” Challenge!
ReplyDeleteWow, Deine Karten sind der absolute Hammer! Wunderschön! Ich kann mich gar nicht entscheiden, welche ich am liebsten mag. Ich glaub ich muss auch das Delicata Gold haben! Danke fürs Mitmachen!!
ReplyDeleteGoodness, Maria ... the elegance of the first and third cards is just fabulous ... and oh my, two cards with rainbow colours ... completely glorious! I'm so hoping to squeeze some time out to play at W&W's birthday bash ... there's such great inspiration on the blog ... and here! Anita :)
ReplyDeleteGoin' c ard crazy! So much goodness in that post! BTW - thanks for the info on the PS GDT search - had no idea...
ReplyDeleteYAY, as much as I was looking for a year in review post on your site the other day, I was also hoping to see you play in the w&w challenges!! A whole card in delica gold?!? Yes, please! Totally not expecting a sliver to gold ombre effect ... love that you surprised me. And you know I adore your anniversary flower! I was going to count how many different ink pads you used but I am unfortunately tight on time. It's a lot. So creative to use the hoops in "happy" to anchor the leaves on!! Great post, maria f.!
ReplyDeleteWow...so many beautiful cards. The poppies are my favorites, love the soft sweet yellow.
ReplyDeleteWOW, Maria! Talk about amazing cards! lol ;) LOVE each and every single one!
ReplyDeleteOh my, what an output!! I couldn't say which of your cards I prefer. They're all special in their own right. The one you've submitted to our Stempelküche challenge is so cleverly done. I actually had to look at it twice to fully comprehend the design. Awesome. Thanks for playing along with us.
ReplyDeleteWow ... you've been busy Maria! Four fabulous cards and a great way to show off the W&W stamps. Loll xx
ReplyDeleteWOW that vellum with gold butterfly looks stunning

such a lovely "flower card". Great idea! Thanks for joining us at Stempelküche-challenge and good luck. Hugs,Beate
ReplyDeleteGreat cards, especially love the first one. The soft yellow tone is perfect for the card.
ReplyDeleteEach card has such special touches. I love the shading on the wedding day card - with the cut out heart image. And the various colored leaves on the last card is truly lovely.
