I'm delighted that we have the very lovely and talented Greta as our Elfin Muse for August. I love that Greta headed her launch post: 'On Elf Duty'. So cute.
We've had some of the classiest, loveliest cards for this challenge thus far - Greta certainly picked the perfect challenge theme for us!
Just take a look at the beautiful card Greta has created for our Reminder!
You can visit her blog here to find out all the details and to leave her some love.
Here's what Greta made to kickstart her Elfin Mission with us:
Isn't Greta's card a dream? I was going to talk through the things I love about her card, but where do I start as everything is simply stunning, STUNNING! I love the big cream bow, the different shades of green AND the sparkly red accents, the placement and style of the gorgeous sentiment, the thin red border. It's all just lovely and totally harmonious.
OK, I'll stop the whole fan girl stuff! Here's what I made, inspired by Greta's card... I wanted to place my sentiment and bow at 5 to 5 just like her original, but it just wouldn't work. Thankfully, everything else seemed to fit together nicely.
I had so much fun CASE-ing/being-inspired-by Greta's card 😉. I know I made a much more visually interesting card because I drew on Greta's superior design abilities and her adorable signature style! Thanks, Greta!
Here's Cool Dude Rudy with his Random Raffle Prize for August...
Greta and I both hope you'll come Wreath it Up with us before the end of the month.
