Morning all!
It’s my turn to set the challenge over on the Daring Cardmakers blog this week, so I thought it was definitely time for some seasonal crafting by putting the focus firmly on lush leaves!
Leaves come in many sizes, shape, and colours, and it’s colours that I wanted to play with for my card:
Stamps and dies: The Stamp Market – Just Because STAMPtember 2019 (r), Waffle Flower – Birthday Wishes, MFT – Brush Splatter Background (r), Waffle Flower – Diamond Texture
I used the same leaf stamp from a Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember bundle by The Stamp Market and stamped it in 6 different (rainbow) shades of ink (all listed below).
In my cardstock scraps folder I have a pocket for background panels that need to be used up on something, these panels were made for previous projects but just didn’t work out for one reason or another and have been waiting (sometimes years!) to finally be used.
Well, that time has arrived for the white Diamond Texture cover plate from Waffle Flower that I’d also stamped in light grey ink with the Brush Splatter Background from MFT.
After arranging all the leaves on the white panel, I stuck them down along the spine and the base of the leaves so that I could curl up the tips for a little dimension on the finished card.
I trimmed off the overhanging bits, then added a little dimension (which cardstock scraps) behind the leafy panel when sticking it down on my card base.
I wanted something bold yet simple for my sentiment, and the Birthday Wishes set from Waffle Flower has quickly become a go-to option.
Finally, I added clear droplets here and there in some of the white space to add a little balance.
Make sure you check out the projects from the rest of the design team here, and play along if you can!
Until next time, happy crafting!
