Linda BL said...

Absolutely love the second card. Love the subtle background and the gorgeous flowers!

Chaos & Happiness said...

No luck keeping them alive here either. 😂 I think they are very finicky when it comes to temperature and humidity.
I absolutely love your Hello card! I love how you combined the stamping and inking yet still had a beautiful image on top. The dry embossing had me fooled... I thought you had inlaid it. Absolutely beautiful!!

Dawn T said...

Patty Ann said...

Your use of the simple gray and white stamped background really sets off the purple and pink in the florals.

MTPatB said...

Using the die cut to dry emboss the Mountain Meadow card was an excellent idea. I also like the pale green stencil background.

Susie sunstamper said...

Absolutely brilliant. I love the way you used the window blinds folder to help make the image pop. The background on the second one is lovely as well. Really nice focal layout.

Bo Gilmore said...

Hi Virginia, I always look forward to seeing your cards. I love how you have shaded the orchid leaves and stems. It is very beautiful. I also like the unique look the “Window Slats” folder makes. And your splattering is a perfect touch. On the “Meadow Breeze” cards I love how you used so many different elements in the card. It is interwoven beautiful. I look forward to your next creations. Bye

Connie said...

your cards are stunning! Thank you for inspiring me :)

Carole McK said...

Such pretty cards! I love those orchids too. They are such a great addition to this release.

Cheryl said...

Virginia, the colors amazing. Did you put shading onto a colored card stock?

Virginia L. said...

Hi Cheryl, I used all white card stock for the card front. The last one was 100% stamped. Perhaps it's the lighting that gives you the illusion of color card-stock. I did use lavender color card-stock for the first card. Hope this answers to your question.
