Gorgeous Gloria Stengel Cards!
Today, we're taking a whole day to focus on the cardmaking genius of Special Projects Designer Gloria Stengel! We are so happy to have her on our team creating classes for us. She also is still creating some incredible cards with our newest creations. Today, we'll get to see her beautiful cards with our new collections!
First, Gloria shares a stunning Artisan Style card. Her details are so perfect with this richly colored collection.
Next, we have this gorgeous Home Sweet Home card by the fabulous Gloria!
"For many years I have wished for Graphic 45 to come out with a country farm collection! I am overjoyed to have a chance to work with Home Sweet Home! I created a card that, basically, uses scraps! I even cut the flowers from scraps, as well. A touch of white paint on each flower gives the flowers a rustic, country look." ~Gloria
We love how Gloria always finishes the inside of her cards. Amazing!
