Happy Saturday! And Papertrey Ink Bloghop day:)

Working with these Deep jewel tones was a stretch from my usual soft color palette. But in the end, I'm pleased with the card. My DH says it looks dark, moody and just a bit morbid.
As you can see I went for a literal interpretation using the new Gathered Garden Stamps and Dies.
Just for funzies, and I'm not crazy about the lack of stamping in this first card, I made another card stamping with more of the same colors as the first.
Spring Moss, Ripe Avocado, Sweet Blush, Berry Sorbet, Autumn Rose, Scarlet Jewel and just a touch of Hibiscus Burst.
Thanks for stopping by. Looking forward to seeing what everyone else has come up with for the hop!

ReplyDeleteAbsolutely GORGEOUS and not morbid at all...love it!! :0)
ReplyDeleteLove your card Laura Jane!! The attention to detail is awesome from the colors to the embossing and design! Beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteI totally love this, LauraJane. The mix of elements is so awesome and I love the cardstock colours you used - do I own these? P.S. I'm thinking that your bell bottom pants/bicycle chain accident might have been a good thing after all, LOL.
ReplyDeleteI love how your colors came about with a vintage feel! Beautiful!
ReplyDeletebeautiful card and I love all that purple!
ReplyDeleteThis is fantastic. Those blossoms simply leap from the page...so striking and vibrant. Love it.

ReplyDeleteThose pink flowers are gorgeous with the grey background, so much like the inspiration photo. Just beautiful!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards! I really like the frame element that you added to both.
ReplyDeleteWait, just saw the SECOND card, too! I love the chicken wire and the soft stamping of those wildflowers. So sweet and charming!
ReplyDeleteVery lovely cards! I love the flowers in your second card.
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are stunning. I love those colors and the designs are very pretty. I love seeing how using the same colors with different backgrounds can give such different looks. I love the stitched and embossed layers on the first card and the scalloped layer on the second. TFS
ReplyDeleteLove them both! The embossed flowers are simply gorgeous! Love the richness of the deep colors on the first one!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful cards, Laura Jane!
ReplyDeleteI love the contrast of dark & bright on the first card!
ReplyDeleteBoth cards are just gorgeous, LauraJane! It's very challenging to not use white or cream but your jewel tones with gray worked well. Great designs also!
ReplyDeleteMorbid?! Too funny! They are both wonderful cards, LauraJane! I love those deep, rich colors!
ReplyDeleteGORGEOUS cards LauraJane ~ wow!!
