The challenge for Seize the Birthday this week (courtesy of Vicky) is touch of green. I love 'splash' challenges and green is an easy one for me. I ended up doing two cards - couldn't decide which one to post so have added them both!
The second one came together at the crafty retreat I went to at the end of January. A friend has these poppy dies and I kind of went wild with them. I used the negative of the poppy die and really like the effect. It's also stamp free! I used to be surprised when I didn't stamp on a card but not any more - it's fun when a card comes together without any stamping.
Hope you can join us for this challenge! Check out the blog for the rest of the glorious green creations from the team and give a warm welcome to Stef Perry, our Surprise Party Guest for the next couple of months!
Have a terrific day and wonderful weekend. Thanks for stopping by.

Even in black and white I would love your first card, but love the added hint of green in the leaves. And the second card is a stunner!
ReplyDeleteAwesome cards, Glenda! Agree with Lindsey - the tiny florals look absolutely adorable! And I agree with you on the second one - no stamping looks awesome, and I love it when I make such a card too. Especially if it was a stunner like this!
ReplyDeleteWow, you really rocked this challenge! Two cards and both are perfect. Great examples of a "touch" of green!
ReplyDeleteLoving both of these cards Glenda! The first one is fabulous and love the way you did the ribbon. Going to have to try that! Your second one is PERFECT! Love the look of no stamping on a card! HUGS!!
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are so beautiful! The second one is CAS perfection and I love how you used the negative from the die for the poppy. I'm with you, it's fun when the die cuts to most or all the work!
ReplyDeleteGreat job with the 2nd card for the "touch of green" :)
ReplyDeleteI love your white on white card with the touch of green. Very pretty.
ReplyDeleteLove both of these Glenda - the first perfectly stamped and just that touch of colour in the leaves and the second gorgeously white and pure with just the texture and the pop of green to add interest - gorgeous! Vicky x
ReplyDeleteOh, my! Double helpings of fab cards. Can't decide which I like better!
