Stamping with Friends Blog Hop – 1

Hello and welcome to the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop where we are sharing projects made using product from the Mini Catalogue or Online Exclusives. I have chosen to share a card made using the Artistic Leaves stamp set.

Colours used to make this card are:

To recreate the colourful leaves card, you will need:

Poppy Parade card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Blackberry Bliss card – 5⅝” by 3⅞”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” x 2 – one for the inside

On one of the Basic White panels, I masked off a strip, about 1¾” wide using Masking Paper.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – The Artistic Leaves stamp sets used to pretty colourful leaves card for the Stamping With Friends Blog Hop.

Using Blending Brushes, I added patches of ink between the strips of Masking Paper. First Daffodil Delight, then Timid Tiger and finally Poppy Parade. The strips of Masking Paper were then removed.

The large outline leaf image was then stamped over the inked strip using Blackberry Bliss ink. I hindsight I wish I had used Black ink for a more defined look.

The sentiment was then stamped in Poppy Parade and the whole panel was then adhered to the Blackberry Bliss layer.

Using Dimensionals I mounted the entire panel to the Poppy Parade card front. A trio of Iridescent Gold Foil Gems completed the card.
