CUTplorations Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangles Nesting Dies.
Hello Spring Clear Stickers.
I used the 3rd monoprint pull from the New Leaf Prints 4 Slimline Stencil for my
card front. You can barely make out the veins of the leaves, but did
create a cool artsy background.
Next I used one of Monika's "Rectangle Flexi-Templates" to mask the center
of the background, attaching template with masking tape.
Used a make up brush to blend Distress Oxide inks in the masked rectangle.
Then stenciled the leaf using a Zig dark green pen and removed stencil.
Next outlined the leaf and hand drew the stem with Staedler black pen.
Outlined the frame with pen using a ruler.
Die cut the card front with CUTplorations "Crazy Double Running Stitch
Rectangle Nesting Die". and added Clear Stickers "Hello, Spring " sentiment.
Popped up the card front with craft foam onto 100# card base and Done!
I loved using my New Leaf Prints 4 Slimline Stencil and
New Rectangle Flexi-Template.
We would love to have you join our 7th Birthday Celebration.

ReplyDeleteGreat use of the flexi-template -- beautiful card!
ReplyDeleteThis is terrific. Love how you made your background. Really pretty.
ReplyDeleteThis is lovely, Nancy. Outlining the leaf really makes it pop.
ReplyDeleteFirst I love the leaf, then the crazy double stitch dies...love/need them!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful card using earthy tones Nancy! This is such a YOU card! LOVE the third pull from stencil monoprint for the background. It just adds a little something to the background ... I agree this is a very artsy and fun card. xx
ReplyDeleteLove this leaf! Gorgeous card!
ReplyDeletewonderful outlining of your stencil Nancy, it really allows then to stand out :)
ReplyDeleteI really love this leaf stencil. Everyone's coming out with products for slimline cards now that they're a fad. I love how this turned out with the monoprint, and then the overlay is very effective!
ReplyDeleteThat mono print background works so well, such a good idea to increase interest in the background whilst keeping it related to the main image, I love it xx
ReplyDeleteLove the subtlety of the monoprint background! And such a beautiful leaf on the green panel!
ReplyDeleteThe third pull for your background piece looks fantastic. More beautiful blending. The leaf is the perfect focal point.
ReplyDeleteHB Stamplorations! Thank you for the wonderful inspiration!
ReplyDeleteOh I love the artsy 3rd monoprint pull, Nancy! The ink blended rectangle almost looks like sponged vellum, creating a wonderful background for the stenciled dark green leaf. The black outline makes the leaf stand out. Well thought-out beautiful card, my friend! Hugs.. Hideko
