Monstera Leaves

 

Welcome!

I can't believe it's June 1st.  Time flies when you're having fun, I guess.

With a new month comes a whole new release of stencils from A Colorful Life Designs.

The stencil I used today is called Coral Reef.  I used it to add depth and details to my leaves.

So, here's what I did to create my card.

• I began with a piece of white cardstock.  I inked up the inside of the Monstera Leaves 3D embossing folder from Altenew with some Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide ink and ran it through my machine.
• I took that embossed panel and laid it onto my Make Art Station and positioned the Coral Reef stencil over that.  I inked it up with some Lucky Clover Distress Oxide ink that is a bit darker, which picked up the details on the leaves.
• I die cut the Thanks sentiment from some black cardstock.  This die comes with a shadow so I cut that out of some vellum and glued them together.  By gluing it onto the vellum, it made it easy to add it over the raised, embossed background.
• I glue the finished panel onto a piece of green cardstock, then onto an A2 sized card base.
• I glued the sentiment over the center of the card.

Here is the stencil I used:
